Jim Al-Khalili is announced as the new British Humanist Association President and we speak to the BHA’s Chief Exec about what the amazing new census numbers mean for non-religious people in the UK. It’s not so great for non-believers elsewhere though as a new report shows – and we also pick apart the Snoopers Charter, which was shot down this week by Nick Clegg. Plus a new mental health manual could have a big impact, why Northern Ireland is still flagging, and why Erasmus Darwin was awesome.

I have been offered opportunity to contribute to peer review from NIHR Evaluation, Trials and Studies Coordinating Centre (Uo Southampton).
I ignored the email as I am neither a trained scientist nor a Rehabilitation Nurse (the paper related to rehabilitation). I’m not even a citizen of the UK.
It appeared that the entire review process could be performed out online and I possibly could have provided a review.
