Pontus is back from skiing, Orbán is worse than ever, and an astronaut will photograph the turtle that carries the Earth on its back – just a normal week in skepticism. In TWISH we hear about the successful ban on CFCs to save the ozone layer, and then it’s time for the news:

EUROPE: Measles in Europe highest in 25 years
ITALY: Higher levels of spirituality and CAM use increases likelyhood of vaccine skepticism
UK: Psychological ‘booster shots’ can strengthen resistance to misinformation over time
UK: Poor sleep could fuel belief in conspiracy theories
INTERNATIONAL: Press freedom watchdog says Russia ‘stealing’ its identity
RUSSIA: Russian network changes tactics to ‘groom’ AI bots with disinformation
PORTUGAL: ComCept’s Flying Unicorn Awards are here again, voting is on!

The Really Wrong Award goes to Dutch minister for Asylum and Migration, Marjolein Faber, for ignoring expertise, and we send a Really Right to Sense About Science for their work to teach researchers how to communicate.

Enjoy!
