    "In the 1960s, the U.S. started vaccinating kids for measles. As expected, children stopped getting measles. But something else happened. Childhood deaths from all infectious diseases plummeted. Even deaths from ... pneumonia and diarrhea were cut by half" npr.org/sections/goats…

    Einstein's view on homeopathy: "If one were to lock up 10 very clever people in a room and told them they were only allowed out once they had come up with the most stupid idea conceivable, they would soon come up with homeopathy.”

    This is brilliant from Ocado. And might be a good future policy anyway.

    One of my favorite new things this year has been sitting down each evening with my two sons (7 and 12) and looking at the latest tweets from @Rainmaker1973 & @gunsnrosesgirl3

    I hope all maths teachers will take a few minutes today to discuss the significance of Alan Turing appearing on the new £50 note, both in terms of mathematics and beyond.

    Most younger people won't even have a clue what this is. Retweet if you know.

    I agree that it is important to not participate in false balance discussions. If more took this stance, then the media would have to stop running them.

    BBC Radio wanted to have me on today to debate a climate-denier in the context of the drought/heatwave. I said NO. I told them it was a disgrace that they still give climate-deniers airtime at a time like this. I won’t be part of such charades any longer. Please RT if you agree.
