Not trying, already tried and done.
One of the things I know from personal experience about Phd's:
I have a son in law who has the same Phd as that scientist in Jerusalem, which is described as a 'bio physicist'. The real name for that branch of science is Statistical Physics.
Not that that name change means anything but I thought I would point t o fit his hypothesis.
That is the difference between a real scientist and a charlatan.
This and other statements give me the impression that he was being discrimminated against because he was going against the establisment. This has been the common reaction against any scientist who expresses any doubt about the evolutionary theory. They don't want it questioned and that is why they fight hard to prevent any alternate ideas or doubts being taught to students. There seems to me no freedom in science to do research on anything contrary to evolution.
Bill Gates dropped out of college but has done better than all those that graduated in his class.
