This was definitely discussed a year ago or so. The evidence seemed
scant then, and there doesn't seem to be much new evidence around.
Stellar astrophysics is a rather mature area with a fairly solid
standard model with plenty of evidence; he wants to throw out current
models of stellar formation and activity to explain an odd isotope
ratio. It is fun with iconoclasm, but it seldom works out.
Overall, I find it rather amusing that so much discussion takes place
about a *poster* on a meteor (not stellar physics!) conference. The
power of science by press release.
