New Old Skull
I actually drew this skull yesterday for my blog article on the silly press release from the Alliance of Registered Homeopaths. I liked the skull so much that I’ve posted a larger version here! Enjoy.

Whoah! DC’s Improbable Science and the fight against nonsense
DC’s Improbable Science just posted a blog referencing a Guardian newspaper article on DC’s efforts to remove pseudosciences (such as homeopathy) from British universities, especially when such universities are offering BSc degree courses in such nonsense. Westminster University gets a special mention and so they should with their infamous amethysts emit high yin energy.
It is particularly incongruous [...]

Interview with badscience’s Ben Goldacre
Stumbled across this interview with Ben Goldacre in his badscience blog article. Ben provides a way of cutting swathes of nonsense one increasingly hears in the media these days.
