QED is getting a little bit closer and a really good idea is to sign up as a volunteer! Not only will you help creating the skeptical event of the year, it is also a great way to make new friends and become a little “VIP” at the same time.

This week saw a “full true blue supermoon” – check out which part of this is nonsense and which parts that are real astronomy. In TWISH we go all the way back to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius and why it may not have happened when everyone says it happened. Then, it’s time for the news:

  • GERMANY / US: Link between right-wing politics and vaccine hesitancy
  • UK: Druidic Stonehenge altar stone came from Scotland
  • INTERNATIONAL: Pointless vitamin infusions are on the rise while there is a worldwide shortage av IV fluids
  • UK: Humour is allowed to be factual or wrong, but shouldn’t hurt people

If you’re thinking about donating to the QED fund, or have already done so, you get to share this week’s Really Right Award. You will also have the satisfaction of knowing that you have helped getting some people to join, who otherwise would not have had the possibility to do so.

Enjoy!
