Keyword: evidence. In this post we will explore how the whale.to website (in familiar pseudoscientific methodology) misrepresents scientific evidence in order to advance their agenda of eliminating vaccines (and probably all science-based medicine?).

Ben Goldacre, of “The Guardian” fame, currently sits top of the charts in Amazon book sales in the Popular Science category. His (very) recent book “Bad Science” was an immediate hit, something that is both comforting and a bit unexpected (at least for me).

It is that time again for me to present to my fanatic audience, the posts that stood apart during my latest safari in the science blogosphere! What’s on the menu this {week, fortnight, month, random}? We have a little bit of politics including the vice-presidential debate and McCain conceding defeat in Michigan; the missing basic science in statistical analysis of clinical trials; while at the same time Happy Jihad wonders “Could God create a rock so heavy that he could not lift it?

Yes, yes, I know I got this tip from “the quackometer” but I just had to blatantly re-post this particular one as it blew me away when I read it! So, here it is, Healing Water to make you anything you ever desired!

A few interesting blogs I have recently (well, not so recently but anyway) added on my RSS feeds.

Meet Dana Ullman: a spam robot posting the same comments over and over again whenever an article about homeopathy pops up! Even the ones that are actually against homeopathy!
