TheESP – Ep. #432 – Turning people into horses

Download


Annika and András talk a bit about the EP elections again, mostly reacting to listener feedback. We also mention the Belgian skeptical organisation SKEPP’s Skeptical Awards and in TWISH we commemorate evolutionary biologist, humanist, eugenicist and internationalist extraordinaire Sir Julian Huxley. Then in the news:

  • SCOTLAND: Parliament votes to implement abortion safe access zones
  • INTERNATIONAL: How to help health care professionals on the forefront of vaccinations?

The Welsh educational institution Llanidoes High School gets this week’s Really Wrong award for teaching creationism as science.

We also bring you a Word of the Week, which is the Hungarian expression “Lóvá tesz”.

Enjoy!
