  • Description:

    I so thoroughly enjoyed preparing and giving the previous lecture series under this title, I thought to make another journey through the darker reaches of the scientific world. Cher is still singing about her granddad and his Dr Good, appallingly Andrew Wakefield still has a voice in America as part of the 'anti-vaxxer' movement and the cosmetic industry continues, unchallenged, to flog 'scientifically proven' products. Bonus feature: a review of the pseudoscience peddled during the Coronavirus epidemic. So, join me for this 6 lecture series to find out more.
