Do you know who doctor Rupert Sheldrake is?
Gemini:
Yes, I do. Rupert Sheldrake is a biologist and author who is best known for his hypothesis of morphic resonance. Here’s a summary of his background:
- Biologist and Author: Sheldrake has a PhD and has authored over 100 scientific papers and several books.
- Morphic Resonance: This is his most famous idea, but it is a controversial concept that is not widely accepted in mainstream science.
- Academic Career: Sheldrake has held positions at Cambridge University, the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics, and the Graduate Institute in Connecticut.
- Research Interests: His interests extend to parapsychology, including telepathy and precognition.
It’s important to note that there is some debate around Sheldrake’s work. While he has some academic credentials, his ideas about morphic resonance are generally considered to be outside the realm of conventional science.
