[Media Watch] Anti-vaxxers are antisocial

Over the years, academics have used all sorts of techniques during their shows at the Cabaret of Dangerous Ideas (CODI) —from music and props to experiments involving audience members. Yet, Dr Clare Taylor, Senior Lecturer in Medical Microbiology at Edinburgh Napier University, UK, is the first scientist I have seen who has started her show by tweeting.
