I would think there is something you can do about it: write the Dean for Boston University's neurosciences dept and complain. If that's where they're claiming affiliation (read: grant money, most likely), then that's where you go to air complaints. Not just the exchange here, either, but all the notations made about the questions themselves, which just from reading your mention of them are enough to make me suspect there's a huge lack of statistical validity -- and right there is enough reason for a major university to consider withdrawing its support, or at least put some effort into reining the morons in. No university with a reputation as fine as BU's really wants to be aligned with a research project that's so shoddy it's likely to cause more mockery than actual discussion.
