-Cowan’s Community Corner has launched, offering a place for community events, communication, and connection. Sign up for C3 here.
-Early bird pricing is still available for the New Biology Experience at Polyface Farm in June.
New Biology Experience link here.
Highlights from this session include:
-Tom begins with “science news,” questioning claims about LUCA, ancient life on Mars, and mitochondrial ATP production.
-A critique of NASA’s Curiosity rover story, including the claim that it found signs of ancient life on Mars.
-A discussion of Joe Mercola’s comments on mitochondrial dysfunction, where Tom challenges the idea that ATP production can be meaningfully compared to levels from 100 years ago.
-A deep dive into the “Hanta” virus narrative, including Tom’s comments on the meaning of the word “Hanta,” and fear-based imagery.
-Tom examines the claimed isolation methods for hantavirus, arguing they rely on the same cell-culture methods he has criticized in other virology discussions.
-A breakdown of the reported Andes virus genome sequence, emphasizing that reconstructed genomes from mixed clinical samples do not prove the existence of a virus.
Tom closes by reiterating that one does not need to know what caused an illness to know what did not cause it, and suggests the hantavirus story is another fear-based viral narrative.
