The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

A suspicious pitch from a freelancer led editor Nicholas Hune-Brown to dig into their past work. By the end, four publications, including The Guardian and Dwell, had removed articles from their sites.

I thought it was a shame they didn’t use the final dinner to talk about the charities they were playing for, would have fit right in with the emotional dinners from the regular seasons
FYI: The BBC has revealed the charities #TheCelebrityTraitors were all competing for, with links so that you can donate.
