Science Based Medicine - "pure music to the ears of science-based medicine. Huntington News - "Groundbreaking…If I were teaching journalism, this is a book that I would require my students to read and absorb - and keep for reference.” Try having a conversation with a liberal progressive about GMOs - genetically modified organisms - in which the words “Monsanto” and “profit” are not dropped like syllogistic bombs.”įorbes - “on many of the most critical issues of our time, the “progressive” perspective is often rooted in out-dated, anti-empirical, junk science paradigms that threaten innovation-and are beginning to unnerve the most scientifically minded thinkers on the left." Scientific American - “.the left's sacred values seem fixated on the environment, leading to an almost religious fervor over the purity and sanctity of air, water and especially food. Wall Street Journal - “usefully revealing how pervasive scientific misinformation is in progressive arguments on organic and genetically modified foods, clean energy, nuclear waste and other matters.” Hank's listing in Wikipedia (BONUS: Deleted by an activist politically partisan attorney who works with the science denial front group known as Sourcewatch! So this is an archive. He is on the Board of Trustees at Science 2.0 and serves on the Advisory Council of Atlantic Legal Foundation. He has written for USA Today, Wall Street Journal, Wired, and in many more places. He became the second President of the American Council on Science and Health in June of 2015 and prior to that began the 2006 Science 2.0 movement. Hank Campbell is an award-winning science writer and bestselling author. I bet if Twitter had existed in Wolfgang Pauli's time he'd have done the same thing. Teacher and pro-science-gadfly-for-activists Stephan Neidenbach created this graphic when he saw the paper. Oz Show numerous times spouting his own conspiracy beliefs about science, thinks Samsel is so loony he should be avoided lest they lose what little credibility they have. Famed anti-GMO activist Michael Hansen of Consumers Union (parent of Consumer Reports) who has been on The Dr. They are not alone in dismissing the most fringe activists against agricultural science. Samsel keeps his Internet comments private on Disqus but you can get a sample by his raving on this article. They believe glyphosate is toxic despite all of the evidence against them but even they don't in word salads about toxicology and biology that might as well be magic. You can read the whole thing here if you don't get the gist.
Whew, "a deductive reasoning approach based on syllogism" and "at best unsubstantiated theories, speculations or simply incorrect" - those are fighting words in evidence-based circles, so I can't imagine what mud-slinging will happen in a group that thinks mainstream science is a conservative conspiracy against nature. And so it looks bad when a suspect junk scientist writes in what some consider a pay-to-play predatory journal that you are not even qualified to be in their circle. Seneff is famous among biologists the way fellow computer scientist Mark Jacobson is among climate scientists: They would ordinarily appreciate any help, science is a big umbrella after all, but they wish they would either be correct or quiet. I don't even know what the term for a higher order "not even wrong" should be, so if you have an idea help me out in a comment. When a collaborator of a true anti-science crank, Gilles-Éric Séralini, famous for weird claims like that GMOs are a "pesticide sponge" and who manufactured a (now retracted) paper claiming that rats somehow get cancer if they eat GMO feed, debunks you, you are "not even wrong" by people who are "not even wrong." This now applies to the work of MIT computer scientist Stephanie Seneff and whatever Anthony Samsel claims to have expertise in. This isn't even wrong."īy that he meant the author didn't even have enough command of the basics to be incorrect, it was just gibberish.
Upon seeing what he deemed a poorly-constructed paper by a colleague in physics, Wolfgang Pauli is apocryphally said to have, "This isn't right.
