Purging bad science from TEDx

Post by Lambkin »

TEDx talks are locally-organized events based on the TED model. There has been some discussion of how these talks are exploited by scammers and purveyors of pseudo-science. TED staff produced this guide for identifying pseudo-science which I thought was a good topic for Quatloos.

That's not quite fair. I was mentioned by Alex Jones (as attempting to mischaracterize him on Wikipedia.) :roll:
