  • Randall Bock: “How to Fix Science” | Tom Nelson Pod #362
    Jan 2 2026

    Randall Bock discusses the prevalence of misinformation and hierarchical biases in the scientific community, using examples like COVID-19, Zika, and peer review's limitations. He argues that current systems encourage conformity and lack rigorous validation, proposing a new model where scientific claims are evaluated similar to sports, incorporating transparency, prediction markets, and replication bounties. Bock emphasizes the need for open inquiry and structural changes to prevent entrenched scientific gatekeeping and improve overall research quality.

  • John Droz: “Teaching critical thinking in K-12” | Tom Nelson Pod #360
    Dec 23 2025

    John Droz, an independent physicist with over 40 years of experience in state and national issues, discusses the severe deficiencies in the K-12 education system, particularly the infiltration of left-leaning propaganda and the suppression of critical thinking. He highlights the adoption of Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) by 49 states, which he argues undermine the traditional scientific method and promote conformity. Droz proposes a solution involving the formal teaching of critical thinking in K-12 education and a reformation of the Federal Department of Education to serve an advisory role rather than a regulatory one.
