This week Rational Alchemy takes a break from the normal format (and at the beginning of the show from all illusion of professionalism) to have Nigel Aves back on the show. As usual when Nigel is on, we drifted a bit a lot from our intended topics. Discussions include NICAM, climate change, the death of print media and more.

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.
