… and it’s time to start planning your QED trip!
We are in the latest issue of the Australian Skeptics Magazine – thanks again dear friends for inviting us to Skepticon last year! New adventures are waiting in the new year with QED dates just announced, so it’s time to start planning for a trip to Manchester in September. We renew our call for Word of the Week and Who’s Quacking, please send in your contributions. In addition we note that the ISS astronauts made it back OK to Earth and that popes absolutely have known about the sex abuse scandals for a long time but found it more important to cover it up than to stop it. Then it’s time for the news:

FINLAND / DENMARK / NORWAY: Rumors of babies kidnapped by authorities now also in the other Nordic countries
GERMANY: Record low number of breastfed babies
INTERNATIONAL: Cochrane statement clarifies recent review on masks
INTERNATIONAL: High Seas Treaty of the UN
SWEDEN: New recommendations as of 1 March re covid vaccination
Believe it or not but the Polish PiS party rakes in yet another Really Wrong Award which make it their sixth so far.

Enjoy!
