> For more than a decade, Joel Moskowitz, a researcher in the School of Public Health at UC Berkeley and director of Berkeley’s Center for Family and Community Health, has been on a quest to prove that radiation from cellphones is unsafe.

Implicit in this is that, despite the decade-plus quest, he has done nothing like proving it.

And that seems to be the case.

The most telling refutation is despite the low-quality research Moskowitz cites showing potential harm, the explosion of cellphone use has not led to an increase of the harms that are supposedly associated with it in that research.

Adding to this, the "I want to find a proof for my idea" attitude is very different from "let's see objectively what is going on".
