"Barnett Rosenberg wasn't trying to cure cancer. He wasn't working on cancer. He wasn't working on any disease-related problem. He wasn't even working with human cells. All he was trying to do was to test a hypothesis about what would happen when dividing bacteria were placed in a strong electric field."

'On 16 Sep 2024, I watched with utter incredulity at Dr Ritchie giving her evidence at the UK Covid-19 Inquiry. When challenged with Professor Beggs’ IPC expert evidence concerning airborne transmission of Covid-19, Dr Ritchie appeared to contradict him by stating that the epidemiology and scientific literature did not support airborne spread as the predominant mode of transmission and that the latest World Health Organization (WHO) guidance hadn’t changed in this respect.'

'The strikingly simple, almost primitive looking experimental methods he employed in his thesis against the backdrop of ongoing World War II left a deep impression on me, especially with the historical hindsight of knowing that both Jacob-Monod model of gene regulation and the later study of allostery build up on this thesis work- of E.coli in variety of sugar waters.'

“In what world can an organisation seriously think it is all right to run a prominent cancer event, bringing together world experts, while also taking sponsorship from a company whose product has caused millions of cancer deaths worldwide? Absolutely shocking.”

'In the ruins of the Kharkiv suburbs recently, and in the rubble of the Kherson region last year, I was reminded of a nurse who arrived at a Nazi concentration camp in 1945 after “liberation.” She wrote in her diary that this was not the correct word.

'Depois, aviões de Israel rugiram sobre uma Beirute em choque, bombardearam o Sul do Líbano. E continuei a ver títulos como: EUA correm a travar escalada da guerra. Será isso na Lua? Em Marte? Ou é mesmo aquela guerra que os americanos continuam a armar? Ao fim de quase um ano, e de nunca se ter visto tanto horror em directo com tanta lata. E tanta troça.'
