Two mind-expanding interviews with individuals whose careers have negotiated the precarious path between traditional science and what is commonly regarded as woo. Dr. Garry Nolan has a hugely important post at Stanford University School of Medicine. His study of the "Atacama skeleton" set off explosive responses from both promoters of its possibly alien lineage and mainstream scientists who questioned its findings--and its propriety. Nolan is a natural for Banias' program, which seeks to be "slightly annoying to all the crazy zealot believers out there and knee-jerk skeptics." Banias and Nolan delve more deeply into a limited set of, well, deeper topics than is typical of many other interviews. Nolan's interest in the "caudate-putamen brain system" and how it may affect intuition and executive functioning comes up early. His instruction on how to talk about these subjects "in just the right way" to get the serious attention of "mainstream" scientists and academics has wide application for paranormalists.
Dr. Eric Davis: Investigating and Experiencing the Paranormal engages Alejandro Rojas and another figure with strong academic ties, this time with Baylor University. Dr. Eric Davis also has had a long association with Robert Bigelow, was part of the National Institute for Discovery Science (NIDS) team that investigated the infamous and fabulous former "Skinwalker Ranch," and now works with "To The Stars." Davis covers some of the intriguing aspects of the Ranch studies and ruminates about the difficulties people have in grasping just what may be going on behind the "Tic Tacs" and other paranormal phenomena. He also discusses a novel theory about the immune system's relationship to certain people being "weird magnets." (WM)
