Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ilya Maclean" data-source="post: 1529637" data-attributes="member: 46774">That was rather my point - I couldn't actually find any peer-reviewed scientific literature he's published (as opposed to commissioned reports, magazine articles etc). I would be most grateful if you could point me in the direction of any. I read a report authored by him when it first came out, and it was fairly flawed in places.I'm yet to come across any scientist with such a low scientific profile - i.e. to the point of being untraceable.  I've done a fairly extensive internet search and the best I can come up with, apart from his association with Songbird Survival is a presentation he once gave as on Lyme Disease, where he lists himself as being of R&D Associates of 7 Lime Chase, Kirkbymoorside in Yorkshire, a company which is also has a virtually non-existent profile on the internet. His e-mail address is a hotmail one, which again I find extraordinary for a bona-fide academic.  There is also a Roy W Brown that is a famous human rights activist with a background in engineering, but I’m almost certain it’s not the same person. I stand to be corrected on this though.They don’t hand these qualifications out (I worked bloody hard for mine, which was a mere PhD!), but I would be grateful if anybody could inform me as to where he got them from. Again I reiterate I am here not to make defamatory statements and will gladly retract anything I’ve suggested if someone can enlighten me.</blockquote>
