There are two new articles online this month at the Skeptical Investigations website. Click the appropriate link on the top right of screen on the main page to view each of these new essays:
Science Stifled by Dogma: A group of scientists have published an open letter in protest at the denial of research funds for Plasma Cosmology. We look at this latest example of decisions taken in the interests of supporting the status quo rather than advancing science.
Lies, Damned Lies and Sloppy Statistics: A study of articles published in top science and medical journals shows that a large proportion contain statistical errors. Apart from typographical errors, these are primarily caused by the incorrect rounding of figures. In some cases, errors caused false conclusions to be published.
The new additions just add to a great deal of excellent material already on the website.
