Parapsychology Researcher Dean Radin Faces the Perils of Psi Research
In-depth interview with noted parapsychologist Dean Radin explores why parapsychology research isn’t mainstream.
Del Mar, CA, January 29, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Join host Alex Tsakiris when he interviews parapsychologist Dr. Dean Radin of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, about navigating the perilous field of parapsychology research.
During the 45-minute interview Radin suggests paranormal experiences are more common than most scientists publicly admit.
“In private, virtually all scientists, including the most severe skeptics, will admit to interesting things that go bump in the night. In public, they’ll find a completely different way to talk about their experience,” Radin says.
He also discusses the challenges psi researchers face.
“If you portray a controversial message, it would appear that the more conservative you are the better, but I believe this is actually false. I know a number of colleagues who were absolute mainstream, with no connection to anything controversial at all expect for psi, and they were marginalized only because of their interest in this field,” claims Radin.
And, how he navigates the controversy.
“I don’t care too much what other people think about what I do. I’m much more interested in exploring and finding out about the nature of the world. So, if someone makes a claim that seems incredible and I have the time and the interest to look at it – I go look at it,” Radin explains.

Dr. Dean Radin is the author of many scientific papers as well as articles written for a popular audience. He is the author of two books, The Conscious Universe (1997), and Entangled Minds (2006).
