If you're interested in Malone, I definitely recommend reading the Atlantic article about him:

https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2021/08/robert-m...

TLDR: he got spurned early on in his career, is bitter about it, and seems to be willing to say just about anything as long as someone will give him some modicum of fame.

Who, the author of that hit piece, or Malone?

Ridiculous to try to sum up a scientist's life with a shallow hit piece written by a daft "woke" author.

Typical mudslinging strategy to discredit dissenters.

I can't believe people actually read trash like The Atlantic at this point.

If you're interested in Malone, don't just read that hit piece, written by an author who had previously stuck to woke issues.

Wikipedia's not perfect, but his article there would be an improvement.
