“Henry Lai, an emeritus professor at the University of Washington, Seattle, and one of the world’s best-known EMF researchers. In his retirement, Lai has been keeping track of what gets published. By his count, there are now more than 200 papers on static and power-frequency EMFs and gene expression —over 90% show effects. Among them is a 2020 study from Iran that saw EMF-induced changes in myc expression.” – Microwave News
