The mega-project, unleashed!

Finally, after months of sweat and tears and secret taping, lawyers, career shifts, late nights, a cast of thousands (well, dozens) and lots of writing, the mega-project is finished. Behold, There Goes the Science Bit…

From food that doesn’t contain chemicals to a spray that shields against EMF, young scientists have been contacting organisations – manufacturers, distributors, retailers – to ask for more evidence for such claims. This is their dossier of extracts from their experiences.
The Voice of Young Science network hope their work will encourage more people from all walks of life to question claims and ask for evidence.

See, it’s like a big version of the SciencePunk letters, only with loads of Science Punks, plus it’s been through the lawyers so I definitely won’t get sued! You can download a .pdf version of the document here. The Guardian have already written about it here. New Scientist and Sky News will be covering it, plus some other cats.

It’s also different because this is the first time I got paid to take on bad science. In case you hadn’t read my bio, I’m now in the pay of Sense About Science - media agitators / science punks / industry stooges / pro-GM lobbyists / anti-environmentalists / left-wing rightists / Commie bastards depending on who you ask. We all wear red berets in the office and run a collectivist approach to stationery.

Anyway, back to the point. It’s done. I’m happy.
