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.

He didn't turn around and left me standing but gave me advice, encouragement and strength to continue my endeavours which ended up in me having a solid career in academia.

If I had someone I hated with an ineluctable hatred, I wouldn’t wish chemotherapy upon them. Chemotherapy tends to leave one weakened and sick (among other things); ordinary tasks can take a great deal of energy. There’s also the psychological and mental toll For someone purportedly to be a person of faith to take advantage of a person in a debilitated state to make a “conversion” is unconscionable

Because, to be very clear, that’s necessarily what is happening when Tour denies OOL.

    Yes, having dealt with people like this, they get to where they are by investing all their energy and intellect in self-promotion rather than improving themselves. They basically make the Gish Gallup their career. Colleagues, out of professional courtesy, give them the benefit of the doubt that they’re operating with integrity, and any mistakes will get filtered out in the review process. 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 may not be smart enough to understand much of the science Proffessor Dave covers, but i never miss a video of his and always watch them to the end. I know what it looks like for a con artist like James Tour to be exposed and i know he really deserves this and all i can say to proffesor Dave is, GET HIM!!! Science is our most valuable tool for understanding reality and we dont need people like this corrupting the feild.

    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.

    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.
