I agree that hard to tease out truth from fiction from journalists writing on science. I think though this guy is the real deal. While he doesn’t have much web presence you can search him on Google Scholar or the National Library of Medicine’s scientific papers site and he has a very strong scientific presense (many of the papers he has written are free to all). I think the message was exactly, Nancy, that trying to treat diseases with a single drug hitting a single gene will not work for most diseases and that instead network sciences will be key.
