This week brings a discussion of the news of the last month. We discuss balloonboy, Wired's stance on vaccination, the physics of matter transportation and much more. We geeked out a bit this week, even more than usual. Alison Smith was unable to join us this week.

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 scientific community would have preferred that it had defended its position about chiropractic through an open discussion in the medical literature or mainstream media.
