So she claims shes a scholar, and shes calling for empirical evidence. This piqued my interest, she's probably worked on some papers in this area - why doesn't she have empirical evidence? Is there a good reason it is hard to come by?
I looked to her website [1] and then through google scholar, and turned up nothing. She's written a ton of books in which shes expressed her opinions but I can't find her producing any work that isn't reading and spinning others' research - if she has then promoting the fact is far from the top of her agenda.
As it is I'm disappointed. There's an interesting effect at work yet neither of the experts Vice have had comment on the issue have experience with it and have just spouted off their media lines.
