Episode description

In Pontus' absence we talk a bit about EP elections and in TWISH we commemorate the Italian heroine of science and skepticism Margherita Hack. Then it is time to check out the news:

  • UK: Zero hour for climate action
  • NORTHERN IRELAND: NI Assembly passes motion to ban conversion therapies
  • INTERNATIONAL: Edzard Ernst finds SCAM research to be in decline
  • INTERNATIONAL: Intervention against misinformation might increase skepticism... against reliable sources, too


The German Jury of Rimowa Design Price, who awarded a product that is based on nonsense, gets this week's award for being Really Wrong.


Enjoy!
