Our guest this week was Brian Jones, creator and perpetuater of Little Shop of Physics at Colorado State University. What a fun hour it was talking about science education, how learning takes place, the wonder of science and the beauty of duct tape. Thanks so much, Brian!

No Libel Laws in Science

The use of the English libel laws to silence critical discussion of medical practice and scientific evidence discourages debate, denies the public access to the full picture and encourages use of the courts to silence critics. The British Chiropractic Association has sued Simon Singh for libel. The scientific community would have preferred that it had defended its position about chiropractic through an open discussion in the medical literature or mainstream media.
