theres a lot of interesting science related threads on this website. sometimes i notice some people don't believe/misunderstand 'modern' science but believe/prefer to trust some other 'new-age' science. so i recommend this site, and the author's book. good at explaining what to believe and where the bullshit lies - from both sides. http://www.badscience.net/ i post on behalf of a good friend.

Hahaha! "Homeopathy is kind of like a response to a dog pooping on your lawn. Not only is it a major stinker, but one could use homeopathy to clean off the residue of dog crap from the lawn, if you use enough of it" http://www.sciencebasedm...ne.org/?p=2377#more-2377

bad science is using a turkey baster (or siphoning) for separating the nonpolar solvent from the aqueous phase. get a sep funnel, ffs. "Nothing is true, everything is permitted." ~ hassan i sabbah

get a sep funnel, ffs. A sep funnel isn't better science, it's just easier science.

get a sep funnel, ffs. A sep funnel isn't better science, it's just easier science. it's standard science. borosilicate is universal in chemistry, inert glassware. "Nothing is true, everything is permitted." ~ hassan i sabbah
