Hey everybody! First of all, may I wish happy Baba Marta to our Bulgarian pals! May she bring tons of health and good luck to us all! Now, as per our local tradition, it's time to see what the new monthly topic is. The one you guys last time chose was...

Controversial Science



Now, now. This is gonna be kinda tricky, eh?

So here are some details that may or may not provide a few guidelines on the subject.

- The scientific method. Where does science stop and woo begin?
- Teaching controversial and social issues in science at school.
- Evolution vs Intelligent Design: teaching the controversy.
- The ethics and practical usefulness of animal testing.
- Embryonic stem cell research: is it necessary?
- Vaccines, autism, anti-vaxxer movement.
- Alternative medicine, New Age medicine and other woos.
- The Large Hadron Collider and the End Times.
- Cold fusion, wireless electricity, and other purported alternative energy sources.
- Nuclear power: the safety issue.
- Climate change: human involvement or not?
- GMOs: are they safe?
- Abortion: pro-lifers vs pro-choicers. When does life begin?
- Conspiracy theories related to science: chemtrails, UFOs, neural wave machines, etc.
