Takeaways
 
Andrew Marino has over 50 years of experience in biophysics.
He worked closely with Robert Becker, a pioneer in the field of healing and electromagnetic energy.
Marino's research focused on the biological effects of low-level electromagnetic energy.
Industry pressures often compromise scientific integrity and research funding.
Marino's experiences led him to pursue a law degree to better understand the legal landscape.
The concept of 'truth' in science is often influenced by economic interests.
Regulatory agencies have shifted focus from public health to industry benefits.
Marino believes that the public has little input in safety standards today.
The relationship between science and industry has become increasingly problematic.
Marino's work aims to keep alive the ideas of Robert Becker despite industry opposition. Biochemical inflammation must exist because it happens.
Human nature will not allow us to lift ourselves by our bootstraps.
The government prioritizes funding for curing cancer over understanding its causes.
Research into environmental contaminants is often stifled.
The public must demand investment in understanding causes, not just mechanisms.
The author is keen to finish their book before it's too late.
Electromagnetic fields have biological effects that are often overlooked.
Cross-examination is a powerful tool for finding the truth in science.
Hypersensitivity syndrome is a real phenomenon that requires more research.
The laws of biology are complex and not fully understood.
 
“Going Somewhere is a dynamic autobiographical narrative about Andrew Marino’s career in science. With a depth and drama that arise from personal involvement, the book explores an exceptionally wide range of science-related matters: the relation between electrical energy and life; the influence of corporate and military power on science; the role of self-interest on the part of federal and state agencies that deal with human health, especially the NIH and the FDA; the importance of cross-examining scientific experts in legal hearings; the erroneous view of nature that results when the perspective of physics is extended into biology; the pivotal role of deterministic chaos theory in at least some cognitive processes. These matters arise in the long course of the author’s scientific and legal activities involving the complex debate over the health risks of man-made environmental electromagnetic fields. The book offers far more than a solution to the contentious health issue. The story provides a portal into how science actually works, which you will see differs dramatically from the romantic notion of an objective search for truth. You will understand that science is a human enterprise, all too human, inescapably enmeshed in uncertainty. This realization has the potential to change your life because it will likely affect whom you choose to believe, and with what degree of confidence.”

Glen Jeffery Professor of Neuroscience
Glen Jeffery discusses the critical relationship between light and biology, emphasizing the importance of natural light for health and well-being. He shares insights from his research on how different wavelengths of light affect our biology, particularly focusing on mitochondria and their role in health and disease. Glen also touches on the implications of modern lighting solutions, such as LEDs, and the need for better lighting design in various environments, including hospitals and schools. He advocates for a return to more natural lighting solutions to improve public health outcomes. Glen Jeffery discusses the profound effects of lighting on human health and what practical behavior shifts can be made to solve the problems associated with poorly lit environments. He highlights the importance of timing in light therapy, advocating for integrating natural light exposure into daily routines. The discussion also touches on the role of nature in enhancing well-being and the simplicity of adopting healthier practices.
