Ideally, UK Biobank data should be used by white men for eugenics purposes.

I am not a racist but…

Some geneticists have very unorthodox ideas. These might sound like racism or eugenics to simple folks, but it is really high science. UK Biobank is apparently on board.

Nobelists are not role models. They are often unscrupulous, greedy and unpleasant old men.
Some Nobelists are very bad scientists. Some are outright science frauds.
