To continue the retirement issue I did want to comment by indicating I do have records for the accounting office people who claim they have depleted my entire account upon leaving the university.

When I check with TIAA I currently have ~85.00 dollars in my account. Since SUNY doesn’t respond to TIAA that my separation date was December 2017, I will gladly share information regarding the state of NY offices that should respond to TIAA. 

That would be Lori Coalts, Randy Stark, and the payroll department at SUNY.

Normally I wouldn’t speak ill of SUNY, yet this is fraud, because these people are held accountable, and I want my money.

Also this is now public that an institution is hold money in my name, which is federally illegal. 

Thanks

Talk to TIAA soon (about the matter….  (Seth powers) – (303) 595-3434

The Brain Institute of America is developing a new portal to utilize de-identified RNA-seq data for academic collaboration:

RNA-seq datasets are essential for any oncology-based project.  With this in mind, we at the Institute decided its time to develop a portal to help anyone with relatively little RNA-seq data experience access really novel and important datasets.

Eventually we will develop this into a multi-user platform for our academic collaborators, with an option for outside usage as a fee-for service.

Thoughts or comments appreciated.

So in this series of posts I am investigating SUNY Albany’s clerical error in the hopes they don’t believe in fraudulent practices, and will resolve the matter forthwith.

Essentially SUNY Albany and I parted ways in 2017, and this meant all economic contributions and salary, etc.

However they made a clerical error and left money in my name in a retirement account, with my social security number, that’s making money.

So what’s the issue?

It’s fraud !

SUNY is not authorizing TIAA to release the money, even though they cut ties with me back in 2017.

When interviewed about the matter Dr. Adams stated

“They bullied and abused me, and then they said leave.”

“Not only that, they are earning money in my name”

That was an interview with a reporter, as I have since contacted the NY attorney general’s office about the matter

So as promised I will start posting these affairs publicly until I am allowed to transfer the money.

This is the original email to SUNY Albany retirement office

”

I am emailing this office in hopes that I can get in contact with someone regarding SUNY retirement issues. Apparently I have some money left in a SUNY retirement account that was promised to me upon separation from SUNY. Repeated attempts indicate that SUNY retirement office is not responding to TIAA-Cref regarding the money transfer The reason I bring this to your attention is that, essentially SUNY is holding money in a retirement account in my name which is accruing market value rates even though I am no longer working for that agency. Given the lack of response by SUNY one can imagine the intent is for SUNY to make money off a “ghost” account which is an illegal activity I would like to work with either the attorney generals office or the state in resolving this matters, as I will not tolerate someone using my name to gain profit or benefit for an organization I no longer work for

We all hope this was a clerical error, however my company will keep on this issue until all of the money (~$85.00 is returned to me, and the account has a zero balance)

Thank you for your time.”

If they want to try and earn money off a ghost account, okay, but I will name every criminal involved until justice is served.

I just finished reading a quick blurb on neuroprosthetics. In this field researchers are trying to understand the most effective ways to restore functionality to a persons life that has had a serious and debilitating accident that involves the loss of leg or an arm. The complexity of the problem is that developing a prosthetic that recapitulates the users desired movements involved rebuilding the muscle-nerve interfaces required for a patient to have autonomy over the movement of the prosthesis.

In a study by Clites et al., in Sci. Transl. Med. 10, eaap8373 (2018), researchers were able to piece together some of this puzzle by creating whats called a myoneural interface. The important finding herein is that patients receiving the myoneural interface implants achieved better success rates than those with traditional amputations.

In an interview with Dr. Adams, a striking violation of privacy rules and regulations. See below:

So in my previous employment arrangement, I was a faculty member at the State University of New York, Albany.  Embedded in the SUNY system is the RNA Institute, which is a strange cross hybrid of SUNY faculty that work on RNA related research questions, yet try to be a commercial entity.  Consequently I did a little research into this, and the RNA Institute is still owned by SUNY, and have no legal authority to operate as an independent entity.

I have to say that my entire time at SUNY was an absolute nightmare. Because I worked at the RNA Institute, the SUNY system was relentlessly annoying about my position, and the work I performed. And the RNA Institute was bothered that I would have hallway conversations with SUNY colleges because we had neighboring offices. However, needless to say, not everyone at the RNA Institute was bad. Some members at the RNA Institute had their own share of issues with the system and the inherent setup of the system.

In this post I am making everyone aware that the RNA Institute completely violates all confidentiality or does little to correct the actions of a few, and essentially does what they want. For instance, when you go on a job interview, the normal practice is to provide a curriculum vitae (CV) to the prospective employer. Professional curtesy is that, this piece of information is held in confidence, and really only used to gauge the expertise of the candidate for position of hire. When I started my position, however, this group decided to post the my CV everywhere on the web, and on their website. And more importantly, without my consent!

“It was just a strange feeling” said Dr. Adams when interviewed about the process. “If I want to put my name out into the academic community, theres something called LinkedIn and Facebook. Those are the platforms to do so.

Dr. Adams continued, “Why would I want my CV that contains specific institutional information all over the internet? It was like they wanted to use me to promote their Institute.”

Initially however I gave them the benefit of the doubt. I thought well maybe it was just an honest mistake. When I spoke to administrators at the RNA Institute about taking my CV off their servers, they said they would.  However, still to this day the file is hosted on their website, and worse it is still searchable.

“I don’t even work at the RNA Institute anymore.”

The RNA Institute needs to remove the CV from their servers.  I no longer have an affiliation with the group and I no longer am physically located at the Albany location. There is no reason my CV should be hosted on their site.

Essentially I am going to post this every week and on every news outlet until the issue is taken care of.

This is one of the reasons I started my own gig.  I thought well If SUNY can allow an illegal entity to operate without proper protocols and licenses, then why couldn’t I start my own group that operates within the rules and regulations of CT. 

“We want to make a difference in people lives.”  Dr. Adams stated.

It takes time to really make meaningful change, however I am grateful for my friends who have supported my journey.  At my Institute, I believe in respecting all colleagues and working in the utmost professional manner.

I close this post, by reaching out to the local community to see if anyone else has had similar issues at their institution(s), or within the NY system, because this type of behavior cannot be tolerated. 

Thank you so much the continued support. For comments or suggestions regarding this segment please send us an email at braininstituteamericaposts@gmail.com
