I introduced the affair in a post here. I will post any further correspondence from or with Durham University or Landt-Wilman below as it is received. I also intend to send another…

Tusk Unplugged on DemystifySci

One of the many cool things about going on podcasts is being invited to guest and discovering a new podcast you love! That was certainly the case with Demystify Sci with Michael and Anastasia. I could not have enjoyed the conversation more. They are both highly intelligent, which beats the alternative and allows a guest to talk “up” to their level of understanding, rather than…

Impact deniers

As a wiseman once told me, long periods of quiessence are subject to interruption by stochastic attacks with surprising frequency. So it was no surprise to the Tusk to see the YD impact deniers crawl out of the woodwork and publish a shrill and hysterical denial of peer-reviewed data last week.
