He’s ending junk science, so you had better find a different scam to run.

The new rule makes sense to all but those who seek to push phony science based on unverified and secret data.

About time. Just because a person or group of people who are either legitimate scientists or self-proclaimed scientists say something is so, doesn’t mean it is.

That why Kemeny’s Scientif Method was for a long time the basis of scientific research. It set a pattern of discovery as well as a basis for standards by which to judge a hypothesis, research and conclusions.

It is time that “voodoo science” (Bill Nye the Science Con Guy) was put back in the pack. We have enough P.T. Barnums’ and Al Sharpton/Tawana Brawleys hogging the media scene with their hairbrained research and unsubstantiated conclusions.

Science is supposed to be an honorable profession, not an employment center for con artists and 3rd rate PhDs.

Just for the record, my BA and post graduate studies were in Anthropology, Archaeology and Geology/Paleontology, with a 65+ year interest and participation as an amateur (very amateur) astronomer. Did field/lab research on Conodonts (microfossils) as a Teachers’ Assistant in the Geology Dept. at my university, field archaeology work for the SW Chapter of the Maryland Academy of Sciences/Archaeological Society of Maryland, spent a couple weeks at Tikal, Guatemala on the Outer Area Project,and helped my granddaughter to be able to identify 30 species of dinosaurs by the time she was 5 (we have a few bones in the basement, dinos, not humans, yet).

Science is great. You can enjoy it, learn it, and even make contributions to it as an amateur or a professional. We need to keep the “honorable” in its job description.
