We have a densely packed show this week. We begin with a report on the annual JREF Pigasus Awards. We also borrowed audio from the Skeptic Zone to present Richard Saunders and his Open Letter to Australian Pharmacists. Finally, we were glad to have Dr. Doug Nichols, science writer for The Berthoud Recorder,  return to discuss the fallout regarding the Texas School Board decision regarding the teaching of evolution.

Thanks to Mary, Queen of Shots of FoCo Girls Gone Derby for joining us on live chat during the show.

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.
