alex byrne, in a bold play, throwing his hat in the ring for the rectorate of the university of freiburg
If you open the anti-trans HHS report’s appendix in NotePad, you’ll see that it was compiled by Alex Byrne.
The appendix is a rigorous, scientific overview of systematic reviews.
Alex Byrne is an MIT philosophy professor with no apparent background in science, let alone expertise in it.
