Lots going on this week! It’s European Immunization Week, Pontus went to a spa and got ‘cupped’, and we have news about two skeptical events: the launch of Skeptival 2026 in Berlin and tickets for the European Skeptics Congress 2026 in Liverpool (ESC 2026) will be released on 6 May!

In TWISH we take a look at the misinformation surrounding the Chernobyl disaster that happened 40 years ago this week. And then of course, we have the news:

• IRELAND: 12-year-old sex abuse victim locked up and punished for four years in a nunnery
• IRELAND / UK: UK survivor of Irish mother and baby home can’t afford to accept compensation
• GERMANY: Will homeopathy finally get what it deserves: nothing?
• SWEDEN: Tough-on-crime sentiments are polarizing Swedes

The Swedish government ignores science and all experts and has decided to push through sending children to prison and for that they are Really Wrong.

Enjoy!
