Henry H. Bauer (born 1931) is a former professor of chemistry at Virginia Tech and notorious crank magnet. In the realm of pseudoscience he is probably best known for his writings denying that HIV causes AIDS,[1][2][3] though he is also known for arguing in favor of the existence of the Loch Ness Monster.[4] He was formerly the editor-in-chief of the "peer-reviewed" pseudojournal the Journal of Scientific Exploration.[5]
