ROBERT PARKS DOES NOT REPRESENT APS
The editorial staff has had numerous queriers about the official position of the American Physical Society with regard to Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions.
Professor Jorne Friedman (MIT), President of the American Physical Society, stated in a telephone conversation with New Energy News, "The APS has not taken an official position on Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions." The emails and pronouncements of Robert Parks are his own opinions and do not reflect the official position of the American Physical Society.
That is the good news. We have great respect for the APS, and Parks has been responsible for several resignations or failures to renew membership due to his emotion-laden, derogatory remarks debunking the work of many prominent scientists.
If you would like to make your judgment known, please write or call:
Professor Jorne Friedman
MIT #24-412
Cambridge, MA 02139.
Alternatively, you may call
Robert Parks at 202-662-8700
and let him know what a disservice he is doing for the APS and scientific advancement.
