Ian Kingsbury, PhD
Director of Research
Ian Kingsbury has served as Do No Harm’s Director of Research since Spring 2023. In that role, he has taken the healthcare establishment to task over their lies about DEI and pediatric gender medicine.
Kingsbury has published several reports and his op-eds are regularly featured in leading national media outlets including The Wall Street Journal, Fox News, National Review, and the New York Post. His X account @PeerReReview is a valuable resource for debunking new “studies” from activists who try to pass off political agendas as research.
Kingsbury received his Ph.D. in education policy from the University of Arkansas and completed a postdoc at Johns Hopkins University.
