Nobel Prizes
1946 Holidaying in a Draught (book p. 120)When researcher at the British Government’s Common Cold Unit in Salisbury 90 miles southwest of London tried to find out how one gets a cold they were in for a surprise: their experiments demonstrated that the common cold had nothing to do with cold temperatures. Although most people believe differently that is true to this day.Being a guinea pig was especially popular with students. They considered it a cheap holiday: free accommodation in spacious flats which were fully equipped with books, games, a radio and telephone and spend your leisure time playing table tennis, badminton, or golf. You even got paid three shillings a day for your trouble. The only risk was: one could catch a cold.So writes Reto Schneider in the web site for his book The Mad Science Book: 100 amazing experiments from the history of science, newly published in an English (UK) edition (which we described recently.)Click on the image below to watch an odd bit of video about this:

Here’s episode 112 (”Date, nut”) of the Improbable Research TV series.To see it, click on the image at right, and you will be whisked to YouTube (where you can subscribe, if you like, to the Improbable Research channel).These are three-minute videos about research that makes people laugh, then makes them think.For links about each episode’s content, and an FAQ, see the Improbable TV page. posted by Julia Lunetta in Improbable TV 
Some men and women love to study the men (and the women) who see women as evil. Many of these misogyny scholars will gather in Budapest, Hungary, in May next year, at the first global conference on Evil, Women and the Feminine. The conferees will choose among wickedly inviting topics, including monstrous motherhood; menstruation and castration; vagina dentata and other psychoanalytic perspectives; vampires, witches and sirens; and the bitch.One of the main organisers, Sorcha Ni Fhlainn, of Trinity College, Dublin, has an extensive background in evil. Ni Fhlainn co-edited a book called The Wicked Heart: Studies in the Phenomena of Evil. She chaired an evil session at the 2006 Monsters and the Monstrous: Myths and Metaphors of Enduring Evil conference at Oxford, and chaired another at the 2005 Perspectives on Evil and Human Wickedness conference in Prague.Perspectives on Evil and Human Wickedness is the mother, more or less, of all evil and wickedness conferences.So begins this week’s Improbable Research column in The Guardian.
