You can read all about it here:

And his father's science has also been questioned, or at least questionable. There is no undisputed evidence of life on Mars, no matter what the Levins say.

I do not suppose that will stop them from saying it.

Science requires something higher than what they are claiming.

Do I think there is no life on Mars? My answer is, "Who knows?" Certainly not the Levins.
