Today we present some excellent audio that Jeff Wagg recorded at UNLV. The discussion follows many tangents and for now, I'll leave them as a surprise. Rational Alchemy would like to thank Kelli Jacobson, Tim Walker, Paul Turner, Kurt Regner and Alex Jacobson from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Rebel Secular Student Society for participating in this show. They are members of the first UNLV secular/atheist group on campus, and can be reached at http://www.rebelsss.com.
*** The text above was originally, in a slightly modified form, included as a voice over at the beginning of this podcast. You will notice it is absent now. Where did it go? I haven't a clue. No idea. However, I noticed this only after I had uploaded and released the podcast. Huh. I'll try to fix it soon.

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.
