James L. Cambias
“I fear we must use bad science to accomplish good politics.”
James Cambias, A Darkling Sea

Gary Taubes
“...Why is it, that from the moment you enter medical school to the moment you retire, that the only disorder you will ever diagnosis with a physics book - is obesity? This is biology folks, it's endocrinology, it's physiology - physics has nothing to do with it. The law of thermodynamics is always true, [but] the energy balance equation is irrelevant...”
Gary Taubes
