2010 AER - Yellow IRBs

2010 AER Conference co-chairs Ivor Pritchard and Michele Russel-Einhorn perform "Yellow IRBs'" on December 8, 2010.


Lyrics:
Yellow IRBs (Yellow Submarine)

In the business of research
There's a group of us who serve the good
We protect the subjects rights
Watching out for them, just as we should

But we're fussy and we know
Every protocol does something wrong
We debate, and then defer
So the process goes on and on

We all love and we hate our IRB
Hate our IRB, hate our IRB
We all love and we hate our IRB
Hate our IRB, hate our IRB

Every risk that might occur
We will minimize and that's for sure
Some are large and some are small
Hypothetical—we fear them all

Chorus

Every form that we review
Must be accurate, and simple too
So we edit every word
Till the document is so absurd

Chorus x2
