Dr. Simon Goddek holds a Ph.D. in biotechnology and systems thinking and has numerous online publications. Most of his publications focus on integrated food production systems, but he also has others on COVID-related topics such as human metabolism, vitamin D, food security, and mathematics. Simon's outspoken stance on COVID has led to him being banned on Twitter (reinstated in December 2022), losing his job and having his bank accounts frozen. This podcast discussed the consequences scientists face for speaking out against COVID, the dangers of censorship, and the current COVID landscape.
