– Lauterbach takes on pseudoscience
Brian Eggo steps in to save the day as he covers for both András and Annika this week. We talk about listener reactions to last week’s episode and the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, the last of this year’s Nobel prizes in the natural sciences. In TWISH we reminisce about QED 2018 as we prepare attending the next one. Pontus Pokes the Pope for his failure to handle the relations to Russia but give’s him a broken clock award for taking a stand for refugees. Then it is time to look at the news:

EUROPE: ECDC gets extended mandate to tackle emerging future epidemics
NETHERLANDS: Court rules that Twitter has done enough to stop conspiracy theory about satanic paedophiles
SPAIN: No matter what social media giants promised, Spanish disinformation is rampant
RUSSIA: Russia’s financial monitoring agency adds Meta to list ‘terrorists and extremists’
GERMANY: Münster Circle issues Memorandum Integrative Medicine
German Health Minister Karl Lauterbach gets a Really Right Award together with Edzard Ernst and Nikil Mukerji for taking a stand against homeopathy.

Enjoy!
