		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m currently replacing the K2 theme I previously used with a home made one. As this is still a work in progress things might look a little screwy around here.

		<title>Daily Mail ignores own terrible reporting and blames the media</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Daily Mail has reported on the suicide of an Indian girl that they have attributed to fears over the LHC.
Indian girl, 16, &#8216;killed herself over fears Big Bang experiment could lead to end of the world&#8217;
I don&#8217;t wish to discuss the circumstances behind her death but further information may be found here.
Her father, identified [...]]]></description>

		<title>Creative Differences</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Michael Reiss, director of education at the Royal Society, suggested that creationism be taught along side evolution in schools. His reasoning being that if creationism is just ignored then it alienates those that follow it further from science.
He said that around one in 10 children comes from a family with creationist beliefs. &#8220;My experience after [...]]]></description>

		<title>Daily Mail Mass Hysteria Over LHC &#8211; Updated</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the last week or so the Daily Heil has published several stories about the LHC all using their typical non-hysterical, sensible style of reporting. We&#8217;ve had:
Are we all going to die next Wednesday?
Meet Evans the Atom, who will end the world on Wednesday
and rather more sensibly:
Scientists receive death threats over Big Bang experiment from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Homeopathic Education Services &#8211; Part 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[NB: I started writing this months ago and just found it languishing in my drafts. I was planning on going through all of the Dana Ullman&#8217;s articles but I&#8217;ll see how it goes.
I found little gem earlier today. As these articles are supposed to &#8216;educate&#8217; I feel it&#8217;s only fair for me to go through [...]]]></description>

		<title>Brian Cox: Master of Science Communication</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This Wednesday is going to be one of the most significant days in science for the next few years as CERN finally switch on the first beam line at the Large Hadron Collider*. As if often the case in science some people who don&#8217;t understand what&#8217;s going on think it&#8217;s a bad idea. The result [...]]]></description>

		<title>Expelled</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most people who are likely to read this blog will have no doubt heard of Expelled by now. For those who haven&#8217;t Expelled is supposedly a documentary into the imaginary suppression of academics who question evolution. In reality it is a piece of creationist propaganda.
If you like to know more about Expelled go to this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Welcome to Deathrow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well I&#8217;m on my way to a conference in Edinburgh and I&#8217;m currently stuff in T5. Not a lot to say about this wonderful place except that it is the same as any other airport.
Oh well, at least I have the right to claim 250 euro compensation &#8211; screw you BA/BAA.

		<title>Homeopathy + Physics = Utter Nonsense</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m hosting this video here just in case it disappears from youtube again. This is Dr Charlene Werner butchering physics beyond all recognition and tarnishing the names of Einstein and Hawking along the way. Unlike Werner I won&#8217;t be removing the video if the comments become less than complimentary.
I won&#8217;t bother giving a critique of [...]]]></description>
