James Tour Gets EXPOSED by His Own Colleagues

In my last few videos exposing James Tour, I included testimonies from several of his colleagues, who outlined in great detail how James commits plagiarism and fraud to get his publications. The interactions got a little buried amidst all the debunking, so I thought it would be fitting to make a separate video that consists exclusively of those interviews, since it is important information that everyone should know about this vile charlatan. If you want more context, visit the James Tour playlist below and watch the two videos immediately preceding this one, which this material is pulled from.

Ones that challenge them usually give up because they have to take time away from their own work to counter all the B.S., leaving management to believe any conflict they witness is just valid debate among worthy peers. They have a sixth sense about accountability catching up to them, and will change jobs (or in Tour’s case, field of study) while their reputations are still intact.

I put PineCreek and Paulogia on hold for this divine hope, meaning, and purpose video. I can't stress enough to those who say to themselves, I am not a scientist, so I don't understand this. Crap! You are a scientist if you follow simple rules like not checking the gas tank fuel level with a lighted match. Everything is cause and effect. JT is not presenting science on his religious channel; he is marketing to the gullible, who are discovering their beliefs are hollow and need JT's fertiliser to prop up failed epistemology. If you have not been in school for a zillion years, you can become informed if you read Dave's book. It is easy to read, and you will feel like an expert after you are halfway through it. If you believe in superstitions, such as the Christian one, crystal ball gazing, or carrying a lucky *rabbit's foot, his book is also for you. * Not for that particular rabbit.

Thinking about it, 700 publications is a stupid amount. When I was producing papers id manage maybe two a year if I was lucky, what with the time taken to do the experiments, analyse the data, write it up, go through editors comments, etc. Even assuming a super fast turnaround of 1 a month,thats 58 years worth right there. Obviously Wee Jimmy, as a PI, isnt going to be doing it all himself, but even if he had, say, a team of postdocs churning out a paper a month thats still ten years non-stop. So I can only surmise based purely on the maths that hes either published the same thing in different places, and/or he's mostly one of those authors in the middle who maybe made a suggestion down the pub or provided an old dataset.

@Schmidtelpunkt Месяц назад

Seeing this greatly restored my faith in Rice U. Being a native Houstonian that loves science and physics, I grew up with the idea Rice was a premier university that wouldn't dare entertain the nonsense of the likes coming out of Jim's mouth. I'm glad these folks have stepped forward!

@NinjaMonkeyPrime Месяц назад

I just hope there are more people on campus who are staying quiet because they need the work. My fear is that James has lots of support in the staff on campus which would make it really sad for all the students.

@kevinausman3783 Месяц назад

I can guarantee you that the vast majority of Rice Faculty and Staff do not support Jim.

@kevinausman3783 Месяц назад

Of course, that’s not the same thing as there being a critical mass ready to do something about him. Tenure is *powerful*. As in the fear of backlash due to a perception of religious bias, justified or not. And that is not in any way unique to Rice. Any university with Jim as tenured faculty would be in the same boat. Unfortunately, I suspect Rice is stuck with him until he decides to retire. I would love to be proven wrong, but it seems unlikely.

@QuantumChance Месяц назад

@@kevinausman3783 This is where I'd like to see leadership grow some cahones. It's a genuine shame and a mar on the reputation of Rice to continue employing someone who is getting publicly flogged by a youtube science tutor so badly. The fact that Jim has only harmed his image further by shouting like a child is, to me, grounds enough to at least call for an academic panel to assess his public persona and how he represents (or misrepresents) the integrity of the college he is employed by
