By the mid-1990s, over 180 laboratories reported replications. These replications were published in mainstream, peer-reviewed journals. I suggest you review this literature before commenting on this subject. See:

While we may not agree with every line of the article, I think our community would be served well to respond positively to this type of coverage. It represents a significant shift that an outlet such as Popular Science would give LENR any positive coverage at all. It is of course worth providing some constructive criticism, but here we have a young journalist who took an interest in LENR and got his editor to publish this piece. I think we should be positive and especially so in our interactions with him and other journalists that may write about LENR moving forward.

Hi Alan, yes and it was a great visit! I am indeed doing more conventional work for my PhD at Cambridge but I am very happy to be on the MIT research team for the ARPA-E LENR program so still very much active in the LENR research space.

Thanks for posting the article on the forum, Jed. Thee Anthropocene Institute and the Breakthrough Institute are separate organizations but I am affiliated with both so Anthropocene kindly shared it on their newsletter. Hope you liked the piece. I will try to write more in coming months as time allows.
