Given our openness to blog submissions, we are hosting a writing workshop! Written word is still important in today's world. Among official, and sometimes dubious reports, blogs, newsletters and posts, writing is an important skill for all who fight pseudoscience!

Here at CUSAP we believe that mental wellbeing is a serious matter. We are therefore concerned about @cambridgebiocampus.bsky.social including pseudoscientific treatments in their "Cambridge Wellness Festival such as Reflexology and Reiki. We have decided to send them a complaint.

Today we gathered to honor Officer David Rose. He was a man of quiet integrity. He loved food, motorcycles, and most of all, his family.
He answered the call. Our call. And gave his life to protect the community he served
We will be forever grateful. Rest in peace.
