How Elizabeth Parrish Reversed Her Biological Age by 20 Years —and the Emergence of DIY Biotech, PATRICK COX MAY 2, 2016

Excerpts near bottom of article:
"Another example of an amateur scientist letting his enthusiasm for science lead to trouble is the Bob McDonnell corruption case. I’m not so interested in McDonnell’s fate as I am in the man the media has accused of corrupting him.

He’s self-taught scientist Jonnie Williams. It’s only now coming out that the notoriously generous Williams didn’t try to get the governor to promote his product, as was widely misreported. Rather, he wanted McDonnell to propose to the University of Virginia to investigate the compound.

Williams didn’t ask anyone to falsify data, and the governor didn’t pressure the university to do the research. Other major scientific institutions such as Johns Hopkins Medical and the Roskamp Institute were also seriously investigating the compound and have generated historic and unprecedented data."

"I don’t believe any of this would have happened to Williams if he had the right letters, like MD or PhD, behind his name. Because he is a self-taught scientist, the media could portray him as a snake oil salesman, despite massive evidence that the compound is a major scientific breakthrough—which is now going through clinical trials in Great Britain.

I expect Elizabeth Parrish to be treated similarly, even if her data is great. There are forces that will always resist the intrusion of upstart amateurs into biotechnology. The falling cost of biotech tools will, however, produce more and more amateur scientists like Parrish and Williams."
