Dear Science: Monstrous misunderstandings

AUT’s Allan Blackman joins the Wednesday crew for Dear Science again today. This week, we take a look at some alarming misinterpretations of science, including how Turkish schools will no longer teach the theory of evolution to their students, as well as how a NASA scientist has called out Gwyneth Paltrow’s ‘wellness’ website, GOOP, for one of (its many) dodgy products it touts as being legit. We also touch on a nerdish-ly exciting announcement that the weight of the kilogram is going to be redefined in 2018.
