James Tour Gets EXPOSED by His Own Colleagues
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 авг 2024
- In my last few videos exposing James Tour, I included testimonies from several of his colleagues, who outlined in great detail how James commits plagiarism and fraud to get his publications. The interactions got a little buried amidst all the debunking, so I thought it would be fitting to make a separate video that consists exclusively of those interviews, since it is important information that everyone should know about this vile charlatan. If you want more context, visit the James Tour playlist below and watch the two videos immediately preceding this one, which this material is pulled from.

I don't know, Dave... James yells more than you, and he has chalk.
And a chalkboard duster….
Does Dave win if he write "Not Clueless" on the chalkboard?
CLUELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he did the thing with the chalk like a smart professorperson!
Checkmate, dave!
I'm not going to the cinema tonight. I have all I need right here.

Right? Forget Netflix and chill, we got Prof. Dave!
😂 this guy gets it💯

A great story of how narcissists gain power and how misinformation is hard to weed out because of narcissists in power.
Surely not. When it come to politics no-one would dream of voting for a science denying narcissist?????????
It's not misinformation. It's disinformation. They know that they're lying and yet do it anyhow.
James M. Tour is addressing the accusations and claims in his most recent video. One of the witnesses is Richard Smalleys wife herself. Please watch the video on Tours channel to hear her perspective. In the video one of the main author also explains why Tour was cited as a co-author. You will be very surprised
And every single assertion by Farina here is provably false. I hope James Tour sues them all for libel. He probably won't but I can see how he should.
@@alexanderkuhn6390Why not just state what the author said here?
Dave, literally: "I'm gonna ruin this man's whole career"
MR. FARINA! GO! GO!
YOU CAN’T DO IT! YOU CAN’T PUT THE THING WITH THE CHALK ON THE THING!
Well he'll still have tenure no matter how atrocious he acts. More ruining his reputation.
@@m.streicher8286Research Integrity is a major aspect in the Rice University policies.
Turns out, there is a process for removing tenured faculty. Hopefully James discovers the full extent of the investigation policies.
@@m.streicher8286 Colleges can review and revoke tenure too. For, say, academic dishonesty. Like putting your name on papers you didn't do anything on, or using data that wasn't yours and publishing it like it was....
Unfortunately, the people who reference/worship Tour will completely ignore all the evidence that he's a fraud. It's a core part of their identity - to uncritically dismiss anything that challenges their beliefs.

"Why not all three?"
He's not stupid. He's crazy.
Why not all four?
@@antonyduhamel1166 "stupid" is relative. James Tour is definitely stupid relative to his peers and even most of his students
As recent times have so exposed, those things are in no way mutually exclusive.
"And the answer is.."

"Yes"
James is out of control. I usually don't say this about people, but he should get fired. He really does not deserve his position.
It's OK. If he does get fired, he can protect his ego by citing religious discrimination.
@@noeditbookreviews Probably the reason why he wasn't fired already.
He never should've been hired in the first place. It's like he only wormed his way into the position he has simply to give christianity more credence to the general public and then try to influance as many students as he could, exploiting them, converting them, or otherwise. He's dispicable, falls short of the grace of the God he aspouses to believe in, and deserves nothing short of the vitriol that he spits at any who oppose his views.
@@jamesmacklin1495 Sounds like he was qualified in his field??? But then got lazy and greedy and out of control.
@@punkypinko2965he's able to produce very specific cultures and samples, mainly Graphine.
But even projects within this feild he headed have gone down in flames, produced nothing, and wasted research grant resources he bullied and hyped up to get used on it.
He's passable when it comes to producing small amounts of graphine, nothing more. Take that and how many students he has either failed for opposing his views, threatened to put on their thesis' which granted him the citations he has, or turned them away from their feild of interest, telling them that it is a dead end feild of study simply because it clashed with his belief in the Christian god.
Not surprised about how vindictive James is. Nor am I surprised that one of his most cited papers is something he added 0 value to
Shows his narcissism
I’ve been suspicious of his supposed expertise from day 1 given how badly he mangles concepts even lay people can grasp, often seemingly without trying to build a strawman just seeming to be genuinely confused

The second author on that CO2-capture paper is Josiah J. Tour, James Tour's son. I looked him up on LinkedIn, he's a medical doctor, why is he the second author on that paper? What is going on
There's a lot of ways to get on a paper. Do the stats, write the intro, help perform the experiment, etc. You don't need to work in the field to be helpful.
But I'd bet this is nepotism. Pubs look good for MDs
reminds me of the guy who put his cat as a co-author
He probably clicked on the save button.
@@aggressivenipples8391 for MDs in academia. For the rest of us they don’t matter at all. But I’m on a paper completely outside of my field just because I ended up meeting the people working on it by chance and being able to contribute something meaningful to it. So it wouldn’t surprise me either way.
@@kappascopezz5122 Yeah it was some Russian guy I think. He did it out of spite for pretty much all of his papers from what I remember, but don't trust me on that.
As a Rice alum, I am embarrassed by Tour and hope the administration takes action.
Rice is still a good university, and have only dropped from ranking 80 to 145. I know this because I checked Rice vs my _alma mater_ "Lund Unversity" where Rice was one place ahead of Lund when James first shat in his pants. I think that a recovery is within Rice reach. BTW Lund is at place 85 and rising due to Anne L'Huillier.
@@freddan6fly Does Lund University not care whether people can write coherently?
@@betadecay6503Yes, but we have had our share of bat shit crazy. In psychology it is the world against Lund. And Lund have feelings while the rest of the world have data.

I met Rick in the late 1980's and he made a lasting impression on me by his humanity, personality, his scientific rigour and understanding whilst listening intently to me, a young and inexperienced, wet behind the ears scientist, trying to impress. He didn't turn around and left me standing but gave me advice, encouragement and strength to continue my endeavours which ended up in me having a solid career in academia.
His passing was a great loss to humanity and hearing of these appropriations of his spirit by somebody else to further his own personal twisted agenda is very hurtful. .

Yeah, except that Kevin Ausman is a flat out liar. Why don't you do yourself a favor and hear what his widow Deborah has to say? Kevin Ausman is a pathetic creature.
I returned to listen to this video - and I was stunned at the account of Rick’s funeral. I have undergone cancer treatment twice - surgery and chemotherapy in 2018, and twelve rounds of chemotherapy in 2023 when the cancer returned.
If I had someone I hated with an ineluctable hatred, I wouldn’t wish chemotherapy upon them. Chemotherapy tends to leave one weakened and sick (among other things); ordinary tasks can take a great deal of energy. There’s also the psychological and mental toll
For someone purportedly to be a person of faith to take advantage of a person in a debilitated state to make a “conversion” is unconscionable
I believe that in their minds, spreading the gospel is the most noble thing you can do in the eyes of God.
Nevertheless it happened.
Encourage you to see what Rick's own widow says about this whole situation! Seems like a much more credible source to draw conclusions from :)

@@triettran6251 I don't really care if he did or didn't. The etiquette of some man's private life which I will never meet is not of my concern. I believe my reasoning is why anybody would do such a thing, though.
Tour is a narcissistic liar? Who would have thought...these religious fundamentalists are all the same. If Tour had even an ounce of decency, he would be truly ashamed of his behavior. But given his personality and his dogmatic believes, it is probably out of the question.
He justifies his behavior by believing that it’s all for the Lord. 🙄
@rboland2173 Imagine what kind of wretched, boring and eternal ( ugh!) existence that that would be, being basically a slave to god, having to worship the narcissist of all narcissists!
The Religious that die still enslaved in their religious dogma will NEVER find out they were in fact wrong! They lost their chance, in life, to gain psychological freedom, and that is the sad part.

No matter how you spin it, James comes out looking like a fraud, a liar, a bully, an idiot, or an exploitative narcissist. James in the best light is terrible.
Same - that was the most egregious thing he’s done, imo - and that’s saying a lot
Narcissism is the worst from a psychological perspective. Hard to help those who "can do no wrong" ,or worse yet, "everyone else is wrong".

James is a vile creature not worthy of being treated as a human being. He isn't an asshole, he's a monster.
I live in Texas and have an academically gifted son currently looking at where to go to college. I have strongly discouraged him from even considering Rice because of Dr Tour. It may be the most academically rigorous school in the state but I can’t overlook the fact that they employ someone like him.
BTW, he used your tutorials during his junior year OChem class.
You are an amazing parent for takin an active role in your sons learning. To be fair if a university claimed to be super rigorous but employed Dr. Tour ID SUE FOR FALSE ADVETISEMENT!
Rice is still a great university. Just check the ranking. Don't select anything below rank 200. Your son can avoid James. Just tell him that you don't trust James, and let your son makes his own decision (he is still a grown up, and you should let him makes his own descensions).
No, kids are wont to think they know what they are doing. Do NOT let him make his own decision on this. He easily could find himself wound up in this nonsense, and end up ruining his education. Been there, done that.
@@thomasneal9291I disagree. I started educated my kids in science at age 6, that's when they by themselves found out that we live on a globe. At age 15 they knew enough to make their own decisions. You won't get grown up kids by making their decision, you get grown up kids by discussing their decisions.
That deathbed conversation story, is so common in Italy that it was immortalised in a 1971 👵🏻👴 movie. A notorious atheist, is seen by his son in law, kissing the cross in his deathbed under pressure by his ultra religious and separated wife. The SIL so distraught by the betrayal, attempts suicide. We know this trick very well, it is also used by the Church to acquire wealth, through last will and testaments.
Scum.
Struggling cousins of mine missed out on inheritance because our relatively wealthy grandparents decided to give everything they had to some maltese order that is just a banking institution with a religious coat of paint. They had no beef with the cousins, they just wanted to buy their place in heaven and someone from that order convinced them it was ok. We couldn’t change their mind.
Imagine giving your entire inheritance to a bank instead of helping your struggling family.
Yes, indeed. How christian of them.
@@readyforlolIf the family was struggling him not helping while he was alive should have been a hint.
I very much hope my parents get to spend most of their money before they die, but I have not the slightest doubt, that they would liquidate what they currently have to help either of us children if we were in need.

Rice University still has not distanced themselves from him after all of this? Unbelievable
There is a reason for that. I case of scientific controversy, an university should not follow society and fire someone uncomfortable. In this case it is bad, but I don't know how to solve the issue.
This surprises you? Universities are notorious for horrendous takes and not taking any action in objectively horrible scenarios.
It is quite horrendous- especially just based on his “debate” with Dave, that should have resulted in at least a massive dressing down and an inquiry about how he behaves in lectures and such
@@freddan6fly I would think the evidence that suggests Tour falsified his credentials would be enough for at least an investigation.
You can’t just fire a tenured professor, and it would make a Rice look horrible to openly criticize a current faculty member.
I genuinely cannot believe this turd is still going but then I remember what seems to be the average interest of many folk who say "He's talking loud, he uses big words, he must know what he's talking about" rather than the basic research.
It's frightening how many of the "do your own research" crew, never actually do any research.
Yes, having dealt with people like this, they get to where they are by investing all their energy and intellect in self-promotion rather than improving themselves. They basically make the Gish Gallup their career. Colleagues, out of professional courtesy, give them the benefit of the doubt that they’re operating with integrity, and any mistakes will get filtered out in the review process. Ones that challenge them usually give up because they have to take time away from their own work to counter all the B.S., leaving management to believe any conflict they witness is just valid debate among worthy peers. They have a sixth sense about accountability catching up to them, and will change jobs (or in Tour’s case, field of study) while their reputations are still intact.
They actually do try and do their own research. But they are so incompetent they just make it worse for themselves.
They think education is indoctrination so they don't use any credible resources. Instead they look to the Internet and get fed more and more bad information. It's a bleeping mess.

I got to say, I find it fascinating when people like Tour promote religion in a way that basically requires them to believe that the laws of physics, chemistry, and biology are wrong. Because, to be very clear, that’s necessarily what is happening when Tour denies OOL. The field is so well grounded in many of the most basic tenants of science that to deny OOL in the way Tour does requires a denial of science
Agreed. I recently saw a James Tour short in which he said to stop the OOL research because we are far from understanding abiogenesis. What kind of a scientist will call for the halting of a whole scientific field? Especially one that regards our first origins.
I wonder if he pulled an L. Ron Hubberd somewhere along the way.

@@alexanderkuhn6390 I will be very surprised? She's a creationist, which isn't surprising at all.
@@alexnik1181 Are you seriously saying that she lied about her husband's faith and you rather trust this guy's baseless accusations? There's another scientist who's friend with Richard Smalley confirming his faith too. Just watch Tour's most recent video
Would you rather trust someone attacking Tour than the actual authors on the paper and Richard Smalley's wife? Tour even published a recording of Smalley's funeral. Just give his video a shot. I hope you're open-minded to see that the truth of these accusations is independent of your impression of him or his work.
Should anyone really be surprised that creationists still behave this way?
Every accusation is a confession with this type of person. He's out there shouting about other people's work being hype because he's received that criticism himself and he knows it rings true, so he projects it out onto others to make himself feel better.

I get excited every time I see a new Tour demolition video from you Dave.
Oh, man, I can't wait to see the damage control from this one.
I don't agree. Not that it won't occur.

@@triettran6251 First off, James has been attacked by no one. Stop fucking lying.
Thanks Dave, this is what the internet was always meant to achieve: Seeking truth and exposing frauds.
that is also what the news media is supposed to do
@@DoctorOnkelap It sorta does that, but it's mostly propaganda. I mean I don't know how else I can put it.
@@ibraahimdureng7482So, if it's mostly lies, then it does nothing!

@@triettran6251As James is proven repeat liar, perhaps it is you who has such an 'open mind' that your brain fell out...
The walls are closing in.
I love that no matter how much you expose Mr. Tour, he just keeps going. And the more he keeps going, the more you expose him. You are doing a great service to our country.
I still hear it echoing in the shadows like a mournful spirit lamenting the plight of the living, "Mister Farina!"
Haunting.
From the sounds of it Rice is responsible for a lot of this BS. They fostered a hostile environment that allowed him to flourish despite his bullying.
I may not be smart enough to understand much of the science Proffessor Dave covers, but i never miss a video of his and always watch them to the end. I know what it looks like for a con artist like James Tour to be exposed and i know he really deserves this and all i can say to proffesor Dave is, GET HIM!!! Science is our most valuable tool for understanding reality and we dont need people like this corrupting the feild.
Wow, I'm glad you are not letting this one slide.
This is absolutely fantastic.
It clearly shows the drum Tour has been beating is truly a projection drum of his own doing. Great to see Dave, keep it up.
The actual truth will prevail.
I'm waiting for the DI animated series where Tour, Meyer, et al. drive around in a Scooby Doo-like mystery machine and unmask science.
Maybe at some point Rice will be sufficiently embarrassed to send him packing.
Sees a video about Professor Dave demolishing James Tour yet again?
Me: Mr Farina, go, go, go!!!!!
you make all Professors respectable... keep reaching for the stars & helping your students
Thanks for exposing James, hopefully it enlightens a few who would otherwise see him as a scientific authority.
Wow, this is so detailed and clear. I have a great understanding of Tour's crimes.
If he is dumb enough to try to defend himself in court. Can I sell the popcorn?
😂
Dr. James Tour will win in court.
If there is an impartial judge.
Beautiful. Looking forward to the point where you exposing Tour's ridiculous nonsense starts to impact the reputation of Rice to the point where his tenure is revoked.
Tenured faculty have lifetime appointments but can be fired for financial and ethical reasons. Some states have taken measures to weaken or eliminate tenure at public colleges. I am not sure about Texas.
@@maylingng4107Texas being Texas, I personally don't quite see that being likely, so it may or may not fall squarely on Rice to do something about it.
Further, Rice is private, not public.

If after I die, anyone claims that I converted to any religion, I want then sued for libel/slander. I am an atheist and I don't enjoy being associated with any religion

thank you Dave. i thought tour was quite unsavory when i watched his debate with you. the last story of the guest you had here has demoted tour to absolutely despicable.
Thanks for exposing this!
I’ve said it before, Tour probably hears the Professor Dave theme song in his nightmares by now
All so very typically Christian of him.
Everybody gangsta until James Tour writes "CLUELESS!" on a chalkboard.
MR.FARINA! HERE!! GOO! GOO! GOO! GOO!
ZEEERROO!! 😂
OH HE SAID IT! THAT’S THE WORD!
Good work Dave. Keep it up
People who constantly proclaim that they are 'holier than thou' are almost always charlatans.
I have a big chemistry exam tomorrow and I kinda had a feeling a video like this was on the horizon. And what do I find right after going through your chemistry playlist? Boom! This lil treat! Thanks for the content! Keep up the good work! Can't wait for the next debunk video!
did you pass?
“Honey! New Dave video about tour. Make popcorn!”
MR. FARINA!!!
MR. FARINA!!!
I’m a big plagiarizing hype-man!
Good video as usual, Dave. I really don’t understand a lot of the cited scientific papers here but thankfully I can dive into Dave’s playlists and learn.
Mr. Farina! Show me the evidence! You have none! You’re clueless! We’re clueless about the origin of life! **NPC crowd applauds**
James Tour has realized that he can lie to people and as long as he double’s down and gets outraged it benefits him. He is a narcissist.
Oh for sure
Sad but true :(

@@triettran6251 I don’t trust anyone that says they saw Jesus in their dorm room
@@triettran6251 James Tour is a liar. Anyone who can say the things he does about religion and force his name onto other people’s work shows just who he is… A Poser
I just love listening to real scientists talk. Everything is so structured, calm, the opposite of sensationalism
dude, you have absolutely demolished this guy throughout the years lol
Ooooh, this is gonna be a juicy one.
Seems to be a consolidation of previous material. Also it seems the “third colleague” is anonymous?
I just wonder why James hasn't responded to any of these most recent videos of yours, Dave.😂😂Great video as usual.
Wasn’t expecting to rewatch content so soon but hey, how they I’m here!
I’m astonished they haven’t fired the guy yet
Seeing this greatly restored my faith in Rice U. Being a native Houstonian that loves science and physics, I grew up with the idea Rice was a premier university that wouldn't dare entertain the nonsense of the likes coming out of Jim's mouth. I'm glad these folks have stepped forward!
I just hope there are more people on campus who are staying quiet because they need the work. My fear is that James has lots of support in the staff on campus which would make it really sad for all the students.
I can guarantee you that the vast majority of Rice Faculty and Staff do not support Jim.
Of course, that’s not the same thing as there being a critical mass ready to do something about him. Tenure is *powerful*. As in the fear of backlash due to a perception of religious bias, justified or not. And that is not in any way unique to Rice. Any university with Jim as tenured faculty would be in the same boat. Unfortunately, I suspect Rice is stuck with him until he decides to retire. I would love to be proven wrong, but it seems unlikely.
@@kevinausman3783 This is where I'd like to see leadership grow some cahones. It's a genuine shame and a mar on the reputation of Rice to continue employing someone who is getting publicly flogged by a youtube science tutor so badly. The fact that Jim has only harmed his image further by shouting like a child is, to me, grounds enough to at least call for an academic panel to assess his public persona and how he represents (or misrepresents) the integrity of the college he is employed by
@@kevinausman3783 I don't understand why Rice can't at least do something like Lehigh did with Behe. Just put out a statement that they don't support his personal views.
I know it's wrong to enjoy someone being so humiliated in this way, but I think in light of what you've shown here, it's warranted. Thanks for going to such great detail to show that he's a downright fraud.
Hello Dave!
Please ensure that clips from that debate become memes - I need meme templates with Pastor James Tour shouting - thank you!
This is dispicicable and disgusting behavior for anyone, this honestly puts him on a similar level to Matt Walsch
Can we just appreciate the fact that Dave has sparked this take-down of James Tour and it blossomed into one of the most articulate and documented reveal of one man's belligerent narcissism leading to his ultimate professional demise.
He probably allowed himself to be quoted but not shared directly because he didn't want to be clipped out of context.
I love how the thumbnail was inspired by mat walshes “EXPOSED”
Sometimes I ponder why Professor Dave's videos on Ol' Jim always appear to me so late at night.
Is it truly just time zones or is the dead of night simply the ideal time for James to come out of the shadows like the goblin he is to cause his trademark mischief?
I should believe the former but... where's the fun in that?
I always release at 7am over here in California so whatever time that is for you that’s when it’ll be!
@@ProfessorDaveExplains Australian times, am I right?
Keep up the great work, Dave! 👍
god i love seeing these uploads makes my day better
When you think James has reached rock botton, the man pulls out a shovel and starts digging
Watching you at work is inspiring.
I'm still waiting for Tour to write a paper on how a disembodied sky wizard created life. Go, go, go, go James.
How could he be keeping his tenure? Sounds like a fraud.
That story about Rick's funeral is despicable. I'm really curious about what Hugh Ross knew, his motives, if he was just naive, or was tricked by Tour, or what.
