Eric Weinstein's 2hr+ Portal Podcast #19 on YouTube is frustrating but I'd summarize the "new" info from memory as:
- math oriented older brother Eric thinks biology oriented younger brother Bret is Nobel Prize worthy
- yet Bret and his mouse telomere paper live in obscurity
- reason 1: Bret chose Evergreen rather than a top tier University
- reason 2: the science establishment is biased against disruptive ideas and scientists
- Carol Greider’s 2009 Nobel Prize was based on work inspired by informal phone calls and emails from Bret
- Bret claims that Greider failed to recognize his contribution and then actively undermined his paper(s) through the peer review process
I wish we had TL;DR + Start/Stop Links into the original video. Long form audio/video podcasts are both a boon and a curse since the content cannot easily be searched or linked to.
