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.”
