Uh, that may have come up in the RNZ interview which I still haven't listed to yet.

I like it. Bite me, I mean kiss me. :)

Paul seems totally credible
Charlotte Paul has also been the clinical director of the current national cervical screening programme for some time. Must check if she still is.

And if we stoned to death every academic whose work was reduced to BBQ-flavoured FUBAR by the media, their colleagues would be spending more time on funeral leave than anything else.
Exaggeration, much? I can't think of many academics who would publish something without first subjecting it to peer review as Kyle says. Bryder at least makes a change from the usual racism of those who do. And reminds us of her profession's usual high standards, although I agree the subsequent reporting can leave much to be desired in any case.
Sadly, the Science Media Centre does not seem to have anything at all about the underlying science of this topical health research issue to guide journalists.

Before it solves us.

With interspersed fisticuffs, academic and otherwise. :)

Quite. Truth is still a defence for defamation, right? And someone has to actually have a reputation to damage?

Not an expert, sorry. I think it came up here a while back, so a search might be fruitful.

The most immediate payoff would come from unravelling the relationships between gaming machine trusts and the horse-racing "industry". No surprise who was their Minister for the last few years..

But if she's going to be bashed for relying on a published account of the number of children Matheson had, it seems a bit unfair for Coney, Bunkle and Cartwright's howler over the "two groups" -- and even given James' useful commentary, it still seems to me a truly terrible mistake -- to be deemed irrelevant.
None of it is irrelevant to the larger discourse.
However I believe that Bryder's motivation for referring to the number of children is of most interest. Having said that, the matter seems far from a significant reason why Matheson and others feel insulted.
