TheESP – Ep. #439 – ‘Leakey’ Science
Manage episode 433228545 series 115372
We start out with the sad news that Mark Edward has passed away. Mark was a mentalist, an author, and an active skeptic. Mark, sometimes with with his partner (and good friend of the show) Susan Gerbic, investigated many paranormal claims and exposed psychic frauds. He will be long remembered and missed by the skeptics movement.
After some listener feedback and catching up, we go to TWISH, where we hear about Louis Leakey and his important, but often controversial, contributions to our understanding of ancient hominids. Then we turn to the news:
- GERMANY: New book about long COVID and ME/CFS by Dr. Natalie Grams
- SWEDEN: More fertility nonsense
- UK: The role of misinformation in the riots following the Southport stabbings
- UK: Practitioner of ‘slapping therapy’ guilty of manslaughter
- INTERNATIONAL: Reducing the number of AI ‘hallucinations’
The Baden-Württemberg Medical Association in Germany has taken the long-overdue, but very welcome decision to exclude homeopathy from any medical training going forward, and for that they receive this weeks award for being Really Right.
Enjoy!
