This week brings the final half of our look back at 2009. As with the first half, there are sure to be many stories we missed or avoided. This list was mostly the stories of the past year that interested or entertained us the most. This week I was joined by Jeff Wagg and Nigel Aves. We at Rational Alchemy hope everyone has a better one than last year!
This episode is presented unedited, exactly as it aired live. Including that awkward bit at the end where the next DJ was a tad late.

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.
