Going Somewhere is a dynamic autobiographical narrative about biophysicist Andrew Marino’s career in science since the 1960s. The book explores—with a depth and drama that arise from personal involvement—an exceptionally wide range of science-related matters: the function of electricity in living things; the influence of corporate and military power on science; the operation of the NIH, FDA, and other state and federal agencies dealing with human health; the problem of scientific “experts” in legal settings; the distorting influence of the physics model of science on biology; the role of chaos theory in experimental biology; and crucial public misconceptions about how science functions. These matters arise in the long course of Marino’s scientific and legal activities in the complex 35-year debate over the health risks of EMFs.
