The 1st

To start off this blog I would like to invite you to navigate trough a very interesting website:
http://www.senseaboutscience.org.uk/
This is the website of a UK charity – or as we’d say in Portuguese “associação sem fins lucrativos” (“non profit association”) which I find much more appropriate because it has a wider meaning.
I find they are doing a very positive work on gathering information for the general public about science and scientific facts. Especially they aim to untangle the pseudo-scientific claims which grow like weeds nowadays and make unaware buyers spend money on expensive and ineffective junk.
They’re the “good science” defenders, which I find to be a very welcome and long time needed action! Though I myself never was much of an activist, I might just become one for this purpose.

Have fun, becoming an aware customer and citizen.
