Skepticism

Skepchick Quickies 2.26

  • Snake oil? – Information is Beautiful’s infographic on supplements. Sent in by a ton of peeps.
  • The next anti-choice target: Miscarriage – “A new Utah law could charge women with homicide if they miscarry, making women’s rights advocates concerned that women will be brought up on murder charges for drinking, failing to wear a seatbelt, or falling down the stairs.” Also sent in by lots of people.
  • Locked in: Chiropractic adjustment gone wrong – Scott Tatro suffered a brain stem stroke in 2000 after receiving chiropractic adjustments on his neck.  He has now written a book about his experience and the risks of chiropractic.   
  • Tree Lobsters on safety measures – From Steve (not TreeLobsterSteve, an entirely different Steve who shares a love of a Tree Lobsters)
  • Cute Animal Friday! The tree lobsters have competition. Tracy passed on this Lobster Cat from Maggie M. And I’m really not surprised that Elyse found this one. Giant gecko is gigantically adorable.
