I’m sorry, but the reply by Priyadarshi et al. is total and utter nonsense. When the Tsunami came, and for several hours after, all four reactor blocks and cooling systems were intact Read the rest of this entry »

Finally Crocker & Cooper come round to addressing the crux of the fraud problem. Wicherts strongly reminds me of Richard P. Feynman on cargo cult science – diligently copying the outer trappings of what scientists do Read the rest of this entry »

I know breast feeding is a bit of a pet subject with me, but according to Caspi et al. its effect on IQ is quite pronounced, about ½ σ, for all but a small genetic minority.
According to Molkentin & Giesemann there are real measurable differences between organic and mass produced milk. Read the rest of this entry »
Sehr geehrter Herr Pella,
ein Aspekt der gegen Sie entfesselten Hetze scheint mir bisher noch gar nicht angesprochen. Dieselbe heulende Meute, die Sie gerade ungeachtet aller Verdienste aus Ihren Ämtern gejagt hat, sind genau die, die sich allseits für das Recht einsetzen, öffentlich anonym und unter einem frei erfundenen Pseudonym schreiben zu können. Das Veröffentlichen von Texten ist als solches technisch nicht zu verhindern Read the rest of this entry »

I find it very funny how the innocuous little story from the list of Oct 22nd draws out the feminists of both sexes in Gerardin. Structurally it’s very similar to the ones about Santa [nature 456 (2008), 1007–1008] and Neanderthals [nature 453 (2008), 562] but neither of those has such well organised lobby groups with vested interests behind them. With all the power and finance in lobbying I’m never sure Read the rest of this entry »
Anläßlich einer Präsidiumssitzung der FDP sprachen Sie, Herr Lindner, vor der Presse von „Rechtsterrorismus“. Der eine Leninsche Lehrsatz, der quer durch alle politischen Lager unwidersprochen allgemein akzeptiert wird, lautet:
„Der Zweck des Terrorismus ist, Angst und Schrecken zu verbreiten.“ (The purpose of terrorism is to terrorize.)
Alle Aktionen der Rote Armee Fraktion waren auf maximale Öffentlichkeit ausgerichtet, Read the rest of this entry »

Crocker makes some pertinent points but completely ignores the facts starting to come out. From Callaway and Vogel of last week it becomes clear, there was more than one warning sign in his data that ought to have aroused suspicion. They didn’t. The scientific method relying on reproducibility and reproduction has completely failed here. Read the rest of this entry »

Ramsden et al. are in conflict with decades old dogma. The next step must be to find out, what drives these changes.
The article to go with Callaway and Holmes is broken on the nature website and so far they have not seen fit to do anything about my error report.

Unfortunately Attar and van Bakel are unable to give any hint about the time when the cultivation of psychoactive hemp came about. Sherratt sees it used in the earliest Neolithic but offers little proof.
Knappett is another example of climate-culture interaction.
