The applications to talk at SkeptiCamp in October are now open, don’t be shy! In TWISH we hear about how the jesuit priest Angelo Secchi unwittingly became the origin of tales about green men on Mars. Then, it’s time for the news:

• EUROPE / WORLD: European heatwave / El Niño officially under way
• AUSTRIA: Study links authoritarian attitudes to belief in Anthroposophic medicine
• EUROPE / WORLD: Is EU falling for the great replacement theory?

The European Commission gets today’s award for being Really Right since they finally are easing the rules for CRISPR crops in the EU.

In Who’s Quacking? we feature Paulo Zampolli, sel-appointed “Envoy to Italy” who has tried to sneak Italy back into the World Cup, even though they clearly did not qualify.

Enjoy!
