John F. McGowan, Ph.D. solves problems using mathematics and mathematical software, including developing gesture recognition for touch devices, video compression and speech recognition technologies. He has extensive experience developing software in C, C++, MATLAB, Python, Visual Basic and many other programming languages. He has been a Visiting Scholar at HP Labs developing computer vision algorithms and software for mobile devices. He has worked as a contractor at NASA Ames Research Center involved in the research and development of image and video processing algorithms and technology. He has published articles on the origin and evolution of life, the exploration of Mars (anticipating the discovery of methane on Mars), and cheap access to space. He has a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a B.S. in physics from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech).

The Censored Search web site is a search engine for censored, banned, and shadow banned web sites that discloses the algorithms used to find and rank the search results and enables paying customers to configure the algorithms for their needs.
Search engines such as Google and social media services such as Facebook are funded by advertisers such as giant health and pharmaceuticals companies and billionaires who pay them to promote their products and services. Even if those products or services are overpriced, ineffective, or dangerous. Major search engines and social media are NOT funded by end users like you.
Find the answers to your problems censored by advertisers and other powerful interests! Censored Search:https://censored-search.com/
If you are a censored web site, you need an alternative to Google and other search engines to continue to reach your current audience and expand your audience in the face of growing censorship. Mailing lists and RSS subscriptions do not give your audience an easy way to quickly find your content that is relevant to their concerns. Please submit your web site to our censored site search engine at https://suggest.censored-search.com and share our site with your audience.

A short critique of Facebook COVID Memes. Memes oversimplify the issues and usually consist of a straw man argument that almost no one who disagrees with the Meme maker actually makes. Often loaded terms such as “conspiracy theory,” “anti-science,” “Trump,” “Far Right” and so forth are thrown in. The Meme then ridicules the straw man argument.
The CDC’s grossly contradictory pneumonia and influenza death numbers are discussed briefly as one example of substantive issues that should be discussed instead of Memes. For more details and references, see: The CDC’s Contradictory Death Numbers https://tinyurl.com/y4empg8n
