In a Cup o'Joe entry, Joe Schwarz comments on a paper with a title that asks "Can Bulgarian Yogurt enhance astronauts' performance during the Mars Mission?" Of course I thought of Betteridge's Law. Yeah I know it refers to headlines. But still.

Schwarz notes that there is currently no such mission "in the plans" and then continues his analysis of the claim. It is a short video -- 3 m 58 s.

Joe Schwarz is the director of the Office for Science & Society McGill University, Montreal Canada. The aim of the office is separating sense from nonsense. I think he does. You?
