This was by far our oddest episode yet. Jamie was out sick, causing myself and Nigel to create an episode out of nothing. Not only that, but we were interrupted by the Emergency Alert System twice.
Unlike other podcasts, we are a live show that's turned into a podcast, we don't have the option of waiting a day when something happens. Editing this down into a coherent podcast would have been impossible, so I didn't. We have a lot of behind the scenes audio that would normally be cut. This is as close to being in the studio as you're likely to get in this format.

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.
