- sunshinesnacks 2y agoThere’s a bit of irony in the second reference, as the author ended up with some controversial work related to COVID-19. He co-authored a study that was widely cited to downplay severity of the pandemic, but was also heavily criticized for poor methodology (and later I think firmly found to be very wrong). He also published a paper with personal attacks of a grad student that had disagreed with him, which is probably not in the spirit of encouraging constructive science.
