ABOUT
The Nuzzo Letter is the newsletter and hybrid blog/podcast of Dr. James L. Nuzzo - author of over 80 scientific papers in peer-reviewed academic journals. The Nuzzo Letter discusses exercise science, men's health, sex differences, issues in academia, and romantic realism in art.
Currently, The Nuzzo Letter publishes three different article types:
Graph of the Week – Published once per week, Graph of the Week presents health data in visual format. Graphs are accompanied by key summary points, and Dr. Nuzzo’s personal commentary about the data and its application to contemporary debates is provided. Often, graphs depict sex differences in health, education, and behaviour.
Essays/Podcasts – Published once every couple of weeks, essay/podcasts are original pieces written by Dr. Nuzzo about contemporary issues in exercise science, men’s health, and academia. Typically, these pieces are published as hybrid essay/podcasts, with Dr. Nuzzo reading his own essays.
Weekly Roundup – Published at the end of each week, the Weekly Roundup is a list of links and descriptions to interesting content that Dr. Nuzzo consumed throughout the week. The linked content includes blogs, newspaper articles, academic journal articles, and podcasts. The Weekly Roundup also includes a section called the Rubbish Bin. The Rubbish Bin is where Dr. Nuzzo highlights (and tosses away) problematic articles that he read during the week. The purpose of the Rubbish Bin is to highlight two ongoing societal issues: (1) bias in journalism and (2) intellectual rot at universities.

Dr. Nuzzo’s worldview is informed by the philosophy of Objectivism. He is a proponent of individual liberty in politics and romantic realism in art. He has been an outspoken critic of the Woke/DEI movement in academia. He has expressed these views regularly at The Nuzzo Letter and outlets such as Reality’s Last Stand, Martin Center for Academic for Academic Renewal, Centre for Male Psychology, Men are Good, Psychobabble, and Dr. Joe Unplugged. Dr. Nuzzo’s views led to his academic cancellation. This cancellation has been detailed in the post below.
