'''Gary E. Novak''' is an American independent scientist and writer with a background in microbiology. Working outside of academic and government institutions, he publishes critiques of mainstream physics and climate science on his personal websites, addressing topics such as [[relativity]], the [[Big Bang]] theory, the physics of energy, and [[global warming]]. His conclusions fall outside the scientific consensus in these fields.

	~~Several decades ago, I got~~ a ~~masters~~ degree at the University of Arizona ~~researching a~~ yeast ~~which adapted to growth on trees~~. ~~I then studied for~~ a year ~~on a Ph.D. degree~~ at the University of California at Davis. ~~But mental pain caused by distracting environments drove me out~~.		==Biography==
			Novak studied agriculture and microbiology as an undergraduate and earned a master's degree in microbiology from the University of Arizona in 1970, where his graduate research concerned the physiology and sporulation of an unusual yeast, ''Nadsonia fulvescens''. He subsequently spent a year of doctoral study at the University of California, Davis, before leaving without completing the degree. He describes a total of about eight years of university study across three institutions.

	~~I refer to myself~~ as a scientist, ~~even though I have a masters degree~~ and ~~not~~ a Ph.D. ~~degree~~, ~~because I do what scientists are supposed~~ to ~~be doing~~, which ~~includes some~~ critical ~~things~~ which ~~scientists seldom do but should~~, ~~like exploratory research~~ and ~~opposing corruption in science with basic criticism;~~ and ~~I published my masters research in~~ a ~~science journal, cited below~~.		Rather than pursuing a conventional academic career, Novak has worked as a self-described independent scientist, conducting his own exploratory research and writing science criticism intended for a general audience. He has stated that as an outsider he was unable to publish his later work through established journals. He has lived in Seattle, Washington.

			==Work==
			Novak's early research examined yeast sporulation, which he presented as illustrating a general physiology of differentiation applicable to fungi, molds and mushrooms. He later devoted many years to studying the development and, in his interpretation, the ongoing evolution of the morel mushroom, arguing that it derives from a single-celled ancestor. This work was not accepted for publication by the mycological community, which Novak attributes to institutional resistance to outsiders.

			Beyond biology, Novak writes on physics and cosmology. He argues that the standard [[kinetic energy]] relationship is mistaken and that this alleged error propagates through much of physics, and he disputes core elements of [[relativity]] and the [[Big Bang]] model. In the area of climate, he contends that human carbon dioxide emissions cannot produce significant [[global warming]], emphasizing the small atmospheric fraction of carbon dioxide and the role of the oceans and water vapor, and he is critical of climate modeling. He has also written broadly against the modern system of scientific [[peer review]], which he characterizes as a form of censorship.

			These positions are outside the mainstream of the relevant scientific disciplines, and Novak's climate and physics claims have been disputed by commentators and researchers. His writings have been reprinted or discussed on a number of independent and alternative-media outlets.

I?m an independent scientist, which means I?m free from forces of intimidation acting upon most scientists. Science is rapidly deteriorating into a tool of propaganda for power mongers, as bureaucrats dry up funding for real science and pay only for outcome-directed research. Heavy handedness is also increasing drastically, as scientists who criticize too much lose their jobs. This situation created a need for me to take up various errors in science and explain misrepresentations.

Several decades ago, I got a masters degree at the University of Arizona researching a yeast which adapted to growth on trees. I then studied for a year on a Ph.D. degree at the University of California at Davis. But mental pain caused by distracting environments drove me out.

I refer to myself as a scientist, even though I have a masters degree and not a Ph.D. degree, because I do what scientists are supposed to be doing, which includes some critical things which scientists seldom do but should, like exploratory research and opposing corruption in science with basic criticism; and I published my masters research in a science journal, cited below.
