Precautionary Tales
Life is a contact sport.
If you don't play, you can't win. Reining in experimentation carries the risk of not making life-enhancing breakthroughs.
This site is mostly a look at the dangers of the precautionary principle, and unfounded panics, through science and health news stories.
This site is maintained by Rob Lyons.

Cheers, Ray. Blog This! is playing silly buggers at the moment, converting all slashes and colons into escape characters. Then, Blogger doesn't recognise the URL as absolute... lovely. Sorted it now.
