The heat wave in Europe is back, and in TWISH we learn about the Russell-Einstein Manifesto which was published 70 years ago this week, and we wonder why we haven’t come any further than we have. Then, it’s time for the news:

• SWEDEN: Scammers using fake AI videos of politicians and scientists
• DENMARK / INTERNATIONAL: Are ADHD diagnoses misleading millions?
• INTERNATIONAL: Several problems with viral paper on black plastic kitchen utensils
• NORWAY / EUROPE: How misinformation affects efficiency of energy transition
• INTERNATIONAL: Does AI make people stupid? It’s complicated
• HUNGARY: University disciplines three psychologists for claiming love is more important for children than the gender of their parents

Is it wise to filter your blood to get rid of microplastics? The Clarify Clinic in London does not wait for the science to find out, but instead turn it into an expensive product. Naturally, they receive this weeks award for being Really Wrong.

Enjoy!
