Eric Trexler received his PhD in Human Movement Science from the
medical school at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
He is a professional body builder and a sports nutrition
researcher, and the co-owner of Stronger By Science, MASS
Research Review, and the MacroFactor nutrition app, as well as
the co-host of the terrific Stronger By Science podcast. Robinson
and Eric discuss some philosophical concerns in sports science,
including methodological limitations in study design and human
error in scientific reasoning. Among other topics, they address
the ecological validity of mechanistic research, ways in which
funding and practical constraints guide experimentation, and
ethical considerations that factor into the study of steroids and
other performance-enhancing drugs.
