Love or loath him, Christopher Hitchens is always interesting. A loud-mouthed atheist, enemy of American Christian whackjobs and Islamist wingnuts alike, an acerbic wit, left-wing gadfly, supporter of the Iraq War and opponent of water-boarding, supporter of Bush and Obama, British born American citizen, Hitchens does not fit comfortably into any boxes. During a visit to Beiruit he defaced a Syrian nationalist poster and was on the recieving end of an attack by pro-Syrian militia who may or may not have been trying to abduct (and maybe torture) him. read full story / add a comment

Its not just in Ireland that teachers have to strike for their basic rights. But in Iran its a lot more dangerous: unions are banned and strikes are illegal. Strikers are often flogged. Support the Iranian Teachers! Full text at link. According to reports from teachers in various towns and cities in Iran most teachers are solidly behind the broad-based strike on 21-23 February. The lack of access to the press and the media in general for publicising the strike has meant that news about the country-wide strike has been passed on using SMS, email, personal weblogs and telephone conversations. read full story / add a comment

There was standing room only in UCC last night as Dr David Prentice and Wesley Smith addressed a seminar on embryonic stem cell research. Although UCC academics who had supported the proposal to introduce embryonic stem cell research were asked to debate, they didn't seem up to the challenge. More than 300 people heard from Dr David Prentice, an internationally recognized expert in stem cell research who tracks the success of adult stem cell treatments across the world. Last year the prestigious magazine Science published his work in this area. He was joined by Wesley Smith, a renowned ethicist who is a lively and much-sought after debater and commentator on many life issues. Last night, Mr Smith received sustained applause when he told a packed theatre in UCC that embarking on embryonic stem cell research would degrade the university. read full story / add a comment
