A bit of good news

Two bits of news that have left me rather happy, although I don't for one second expect this to be the last we hear on either topic.

1)Tunbridge Wells Homeopathic Hospital to close following withdrawal of NHS funding.

2)The government finally put an end to this "Intellegent Design" nonsence (which was getting to the point of insanity with the Vardy group of schools teaching creationism in science classes.) by issuing the following guidelines...
"Creationism and intelligent design are not part of the science National Curriculum programmes of study and should not be taught as science.....Creationism and intelligent design are sometimes claimed to be scientific theories. This is not the case as they have no underpinning scientific principles, or explanations, and are not accepted by the science community as a whole."

New science A-Level

Just in case anyone fancies a peek at the A-Level course designed to follow on from the new science GSCE's, allow me to present Science in Society.
