At ICCF-22 in Assisi, Italy (2019), Dr. Michael McKubre reflects on 30 years in the LENR field, addressing both its scientific progress and its persistent cultural challenges. He urges the community to confront two major issues: aging leadership and poor communication. He emphasizes the need to engage new researchers with fresh ideas and rigorous methods. Discussing the 2019 Google-sponsored LENR investigation published in Nature, McKubre praises its openness and the recruitment of motivated young scientists. He criticized the field’s failure to provide a clear, replicable experimental protocol, arguing that without a formal documented procedure, LENR research would remain fragmented. By way of conclusion, McKubre reaffirmed his conviction that condensed-matter nuclear effects are real and potentially transformative, calling for strategic collaboration and renewed discipline to realize Martin Fleischmann’s original vision.
