This is the follow-up to my previous conversation with Prof Chris Exley, “#119: Aluminum Deep Dive”. In this episode we do a quick recap of Chris’s work, his findings, and how he slowly got ostracized. Some key points to mention:
- To date, no one has been able to disprove his findings; hence the title of the show, “defending science”
- Prof Exley is a Fellow of the Royal Society. This is one of the highest achievements a scientist can be awarded. Other notable people who are part of the society include Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, Charles Darwin and over 280 other Nobel Laureates.
- His findings on aluminum have offered up invaluable insights into the links between aluminum and neurological diseases. Instead of the medical and scientific community embracing these findings, they have shunned them. Why?
- This brings into question the true objectivity of “the science”. Terms like “follow the science” and “evidence based medicine” have become synonymous with “making the right decisions”.
- The scientific method is not in question here necessarily. What is in question is 1) the way science is reported, 2) the omission of critical evidence, 3) who is funding “the science”, and 4) curating science to cater to specific narratives that fuel political ideologies.
You will hear in this episode how Chris’s funding dried up overnight, how he was squeezed out of his tenured university professorship, ostracized by the scientific community, and ignored by mainstream media.
