Description
This week Pontus and András are joined by Brian Eggo who sits in for Jelena while she's on a European motorbike trip.
We talked about Karl Popper's philosophical system of scientific discovery, how much of what we think of suicide is actually true, why simplicity is not the ultimate goal in understanding science, how the Tories in the UK just sent a crackpot to the EP, why news regarding the dangers of chemotherapy are probably untrue, how much of the Italian demonstrations against the new vaccination strategies are exaggerated and why caution is required when talking about new research on the Shroud of Turin.
Also, please check out our calendar of events and don't forget to cast your vote before 31st July for the John Maddox Prize 2017 for standing up for science.
