Rupert Sheldrake is a former director of studies for cell biology at Cambridge University who, in later life, has taken up the study of things normally termed 'paranormal' using statistical methods and good experimental design, and this is in fact a proper use of the science of statistics, which arose naturally enough in the American agricultural college system mainly as a means of studying crop treatments. He has demonstrated to a statistical certainty that a number of such ('paranormal') things are real. His experiments with dogs are sometimes seen on German cable channels.
