this story is just great! its got every twist and turn! the best part is the end where he asks his wife if he's a quack! Bravo to Kevin Hall for standing up to him & using his foundations funds to perform excellent science!
Thanks so much for posting this. I've been waiting to see something about the story, ever since Peter Attia left NuSI with a huff and wasn't talking about it, except to imply that Taubes was interested in something other than actual science.
I am joining the chorus: thank you so much for posting this! This is what science is for--to find the real answers, even if they clash with one's most cherished beliefs.
