Project for the weekend: a tutorial on how to identify websites making false scientific claims (in this case, presenting themselves as a company vaguely seeking investors). There’s so much stuff wrong with this one site that whittling the analysis down to something people will read and share will be tough. It’s a chance to play with some kind of “online presentation” platform though, I’ve wanted an excuse. (Picking a platform is one step in this process. Maybe it will just be a website.)
