The Wall Street Journal reports that six Harvard University Medical School employees who became ill in August after drinking coffee from the same coffee machine were poisoned with sodium azide, a preservative commonly used in laboratories.
The school doesn’t know how the poisoning occurred, according to David Cameron, spokesman for the medical school, and no one has been disciplined.
