… and religious zealot insists he’s needed at school

This week we have some listener feedback and hear about Annika’s WTF project before we dive into the history of planet X. No pope today, so then we get into news:

  • INTERNATIONAL: Macchiarini earns “expressions of concern” from the Lancet
  • TURKEY: False images of the earthquake shared online
  • SWEDEN: No FOIA for free schools
  • GERMANY: Money is more important than science communication

Enoch Burke, aka the Irish school teacher zealot, comes back from prison and gets his second Really Wrong Award. Will it be his last? Stay tuned!

Enjoy!
