Dr. Michael Joyner is an outstanding physiologist and physician. He speaks truth.

Dr. Joyner is a superb clinician, scientist and researcher. And hugely respected by all who work with him and for him. For this to befall a person with a ironclad commitment to fairness and reasoned discourse is extremely disturbing.

Associate Professor of Exercise Science University of Mississippi

I'm a professor of psychology at nearby Carleton College and fully support Dr. Joyner's freedom of speech. I agree with the letter that the attempt to silence Dr. Joyner tarnishes the Mayo brand a bit.

Professor of Surgery, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine

Mayo's reputation is at serious risk if it does not correct this mistake.
