Deborah Hyde joins us this week, it’s been far too long. We recommend her Youtube series ‘The Green Children of Woolpit‘! The Romanian presidential election is still contentious, and we congratulate Ian Dunt to his position as editor for the New Humanist. In TWISH we learn about the first observational evidences for Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity and then it’s time for the news:

• INTERNATIONAL: Is it OK to use AI in scientific papers?
• UK: Are prosecutions for blasphemy coming back to England and Wales?
• UK: Humanists UK Convention 2025 – Deborah among the speakers
• FRANCE / INTERNATIONAL: June 16: World EHS Day – World Day of Intolerance to Electromagnetic Pollution
• EU: ECDC 20 years on
• EUROPE: Measles update
• EUROPE: Research: how did SCAM use change between 2014 and 2023?

Edzard Ernst uses Grok to help us find out who to appoint as the worst proponents of homeopathy. They receive this week’s award for being Really Wrong and they are: Joette Calabrese, Homeopathy Plus and the Indian AYUSH ministry.

Enjoy!
