This is a link post The Naked Scientists with Ben Goldacre I made this!
As promised - here's the link to the latest Naked Scientists podcast, with guest Ben Goldacre.

"Get festive with the Naked Scientists at the Cambridge Science Festival! We sniff out the sizzling science of our food, explore the workings of a mobile phone and hear the songs of the Cavendish Society for the first time since the 1930s. Plus, insights into the neurological basis of dyslexia, toxic airborne copper dust and paint that heals its own scratches. Dr Ben Goldacre joins us to explain why abuse of statistics could make you a suspected terrorist or falsely suggest you have HIV. In Kitchen Science, Dave plugs a pickled gherkin into the national grid!"

Also featuring THE GHERKINATOR!

This is a normal post I've been reading the Bad Science book this week after following his Guardian columns for a long while.
Best purchase in ages. I'll listen to the podcast later - cheers for the link.

gratuitous plug coming
We've got a book of kitchen science experiments too, called "Crisp Packet Fireworks".end of plug We're hoping to develop downloadable teachers resource packs to go with Kitchen Science experiments, once we get the time to link them to bits of the curriculum, note some further discussion and properly write up all the risk assessments!
