Welcome to the RIB Joint. A blog discussing science issues with an emphasis on health physics and agnotology. We'll try to keep 'em honest. So dig in!

You Just Can't Make This Up!
Creationist Kent Hovind is debunking the claim that the Earth is flat!
(This the first of several videos, but do you really want to watch them?)
I guess it's a form of progress!

Some More Radiation Biology
From the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission. I wish the speaker hadn't included hormesis or referred to LNT as a hypothesis. But she did. Otherwise, pretty well done:
The INWORKS Study
Here's the study, mentioned in the video within my previous post.
Funny, I've never heard a DeNiAr mention it!

The Health Physics Society Is SORRY
Oops, I meant SARI. On page 16 of the May, 2016 newsletter it says:
"Sunday evening concluded with dinner at the Hotel Santa Fe (where the chocolate cake is deadly!) and a fascinating talk by Mark L. Miller, CHP, PhD. Mark discussed his involvement with Scientists for Accurate Radiation Information (SARI) and concerns about the harm done by endorsing the linear no-threshold (LNT) theory."
Hello! A scientific theory is a scientific theory! You overturn a theory with evidence! If you don't have the evidence to overturn it, you endorse it. That's how science works.
The consequences of accepting a scientific theory, have to be dealt with. But one doesn't deal with the consequences by denying the science.

50 Years Of Scientific Challenges To Evolution
And none have succeeded to overthrow the theory, you IDiots:
Climate Change Denier "Teaches" At University
That would be the scholarly Prager University, on YouTube. Richard Lindzen, you won't earn any Nobel Prizes by misleading people on YouTube. But, then, science is not your speciality:

Merchants Of Doubt
From one of the book's authors, Naomi Oreskes. The interview is from 2014, but the videos recently posted :
What's It Like To Live Near Chernobyl Today?
Nice photos. (Notice the article includes the 4,000 death estimate! HA!)
American Nuclear Society Promotes DeNiAl
They reprinted some propaganda from DeNiAr James Conca which first appeared on that wonderful, scholarly scientific journal/website Forbes. I responded within the Forbes masterpiece (I won't link to it here) and I responded to the ANS website.
My comment asked the question as whether or not the ANS really wanted to promote science denial.
My comment has been held in moderation.
So I guess my question has been answered.
