Carnival barking

I was planning on writing up this aforementioned talk for this afternoon's post, but there ended up being so much to say about it (and not enough time, alas, as I have to run to a faculty meeting shortly) that I'll save it until Monday. (I *will* say that it was jaw-dropping, but not in a good way). In the meantime, the fortnightly carnival of science blogging, Tangled Bank, is up over at Neurotopia after a few days of computer issues, and the latest Skeptics' Circle can be found at The Second Sight.

They have never sent even references to the peer-reviewed primary scientific literature that establishes the causal relationship because they can't. Such papers do not exist.
