TheESP – Ep. #449 – Surrounded by Quacks

The European Skeptics Podcast - The ESP

Lot’s of listener feedback in this episode which is delightful! Pontus explains whether there was a scandal concerning the Sami peoples at the Gothenburg Book Fair and we prepare for this weekend’s QED! Speaking of which, this is what we also talk about in TWISH this week. Then, as always, the news:

• THE NETHERLANDS: Meester Kackadorisprijs awarded to the Dutch-Flemish Accreditation Organization (NVAO)
• FRANCE: Minister of Education and Research seems to be at odds with science
• SPAIN: Health Minister denounces homeopathy
• GERMANY / AUSTRIA: Das Goldene Brett Nominations now open (until 11 November)

The Award for being Really Right goes to John Wiley & Sons for their decision to terminate the journal Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, infamous for its terrible track record on retracted articles.

Enjoy!
