The benefits of persistence:
Philip Dawdy is an investigative journalist who runs the Furious Seasons blog and he's been on Eli Lilly's case for some time.
He's been following the ongoing legal proceedings over whether the drug company obscured information about the side effects of antipsychotic drug Zyprexa, and has been posting some seemingly incriminating documents online that have probably made the company quite uncomfortable.
His work has just got him a mental health award that was voted for by mental health professionals and service users.
It was created by a corporate sponsor who fund the award but get no say in who receives the honour. The name of the sponsor? Eli Lilly.
I love the smell of irony in the morning.
