The secret is dancing

Capitalist penguins do

You clearly weren’t there when the mountain broke its back

Next time someone is screaming at me, I will do the same. Grab a piece of chocolate and defiantly eat it in front of them

The smell when you run the lawnmower, though… Heaven

I love the texture of cooked romanesco, it’s as if potatoes and broccoli got together and decided to have a fractal baby

To go with designer sandals

And now they’re closing the Acropolis during the hottest hours as a precautionary measure

I wore a ‘No Doubt’ one, then Descartes caught up with me

Me, turning my colony vegetarian because I can’t bring myself to slaughter my tamed animals

It’s easy to point fingers, but I would bet any of us would buckle under the pressure of free pizza…

"To see whether a small incentive could influence a decision about privacy, researchers offered one group of students a free pizza — as long as they disclosed three friends’ email addresses.

An overwhelming majority of the students chose pizza over protecting their friends’ privacy. Differences in gender or their stated personal sensitivities to privacy did not seem to have any effect on the choice."

It explains further down the key issues, with this admission from one of Raoult’s team: “this study had no protocol, no inclusion criteria and no initial research question.”

Jesus fucking Christ, just when you thought he couldn’t sink any lower… The damage this idiot did to the scientific community and science communication is unimaginable.
