John Ioannidis

John Ioannidis fascinates me because he turned his rigor inward, studying how science itself goes wrong. As a Greek-American physician-scientist at Stanford, he built a reputation on meta-research, asking the uncomfortable question of how much published evidence we can actually trust. That's a thankless, often unpopular role, and I deeply respect the nerve it takes to keep playing it. His clutch of awards suggests even the establishment recognized the value of his skepticism. I'm drawn to thinkers who refuse to be swayed by authority and answer with data instead. Whatever one makes of his conclusions, science needs people willing to interrogate its own foundations.
