Bad Science

bad_science-x

This has to be my book of the year so far. Why?

Because if you want to know how unscrupulously evil tabloid journalists, Big Pharmas and other dubious organisations manage to bamboozle the general public with misleading and inaccurate facts, figures and sensational headlines – then, buddy, this is the book for you.

I studied the Biological Sciences at University but they never covered the dark arts of cherry picking research data and how to skew results in your favour. But I had gotten out of practise with basic common science-sense and critical thinking. I feel like I am now mentally protected against all the rubbish you see and hear in the news, and will never take those headlines at face value again!

Timmy the egg

I was making breakfast when noticed that one egg had this feather stuck on top, like funny hair, so naturally I had to make a persona out of it. Looks like a Timmy to me.

Monteiths

I recently went to The South Island in New Zealand, and drank many, many fine beers (and wines) whilst I was down there. My favourite brand was Monteiths, a West Coast brewery that now produces a lovely range of beers to suit everyone’s tastes. My favourites were the Pilsner and the Golden. Sweet as.

Sierra Nevada

I have this every Friday with my pub lunch, I’m so glad that I found it on tap! It’s a quality lager with a slightly bitter taste, very refreshing and goes well with a burger or Club sandwich. Good stuff from the US of A.

Rooibos

I like my different teas. Rooibos isĀ  one of those healthy teas, high in Antioxidants, lacking in caffeine. Yes it’s South African. Seems like a nice tea for winter time.
