Maaneli (Max) Derakhshani: ENSO Warming vs CO2 Warming | Tom Nelson Pod #89 Mar 31, 2023

Show notes

Maaneli (Max) Derakhshani is a postdoctoral researcher currently based at Rutgers University, New Brunswick. He completed his Ph.D. in the Foundations of Physics at Universiteit Utrecht, and works in the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Gravity.

Maaneli has published his research in journals such as Physics Letters A, Journal of Physics, Pure and Applied Mathematics Quarterly, Entropy, and Symmetry, and has served as an anonymous referee for Physical Review A, Foundations of Physics, Fluctuations and Noise Letters, Studies in the History and Philosophy of Modern Physics, The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, and Cambridge University Press; his work has also been covered in Science, New Scientist, EurekaAlert!, Phys.org, and the Clubhouse show It's About Time!, among other media outlets.

Outside of physics, Maaneli has contributed a philosophical essay, “Another Thing in This Universe that Cannot Be an Illusion,” to the volume, Sam Harris: Critical Responses, and will contribute an essay to the upcoming volume, Steven Pinker: Critical Responses.

Maaneli is also a member of the Manhattan Institute and Adam Smith Society therein, and works with them to advocate for free markets and limited government. His shift to a more sensible view about climate change was initiated by reading Thomas Gale Moore's, Climate of Fear: Why We Shouldn't Worry About Global Warming, a book enthusiastically endorsed by his favorite economist, Milton Friedman, for making a compelling case that global warming will most likely bring net benefits to the general public.

Alexander Pohl: “Wind power as a proxy for corruption” | Tom Nelson Pod #88 Mar 29, 2023

Show notes

Former London banker Alexander Pohl worked for years for one of the world’s greenest banks. Idealistically driven, he financed big wind and solar farms, genuinely convinced he was making the world a better place.

Gradually, he woke up to the fact that today’s green is a broken system. He gave up banking and emigrated with his family to his little forest paradise in remote, northern Sweden. The dream was to get back to Nature, start an eco-farm and put as much distance as he could between his family and the industrialization of nature.

Until a wind park was planned at the gates of his paradise garden.

Ed Calabrese: The History of the Linear Non-Threshold (LNT) Model of Radiation | Tom Nelson Pod #85 Mar 22, 2023

Show notes

Edward J. Calabrese is a professor of toxicology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst’s School of Public Health and Health Sciences. Calabrese has done extensive research in the area of host factors affecting susceptibility to pollutants and is the author of over 750 papers in scholarly journals, as well as more than 10 books. He has been a member of the US National Academy of Sciences and NATO Countries Safe Drinking Water committees and on the Board of Scientific Counselors for the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. Calabrese also serves as chairman of Biological Effects of Low Level Exposures and as director of the Northeast Regional Environmental Public Health Center at the University of Massachusetts.

He was awarded the 2009 Marie Curie Prize for his body of work on hormesis and is the recipient of the International Society for Cell Communication and Signaling–Springer award for 2010. He was awarded an honorary doctor of science Degree from McMaster University in 2013. His research has led to important discoveries that indicate that the most fundamental dose response in toxicology and pharmacology is the hormetic-biphasic dose response relationship. These observations are leading to a major transformation in improving drug discovery and development and in the efficiency of the clinical trial, as well as in the scientific foundations for risk assessment and environmental regulation for radiation and chemicals.
