    Blogs Are Valuable and Enrich the Discourse, Says Study. I Agree.

    I’ve spent more time reading posts and comments on skeptic and freethought blogs in the past two weeks than I had in the previous six months combined. It started with Ben Radford’s article about Riley on Discovery News, then I read Ben’s articles at weareskeptixx, Rebecca’s response, Ben’s reply on the CFI blog, several of PZ Myers’ responses to Ben, and many other recent posts about…

    Existence of Black Atheists Blows Everyone’s Minds, Again

    Hi everyone! Since the beginning of the summer I’ve been busy traveling all over, but Skepticon IV was my last trip for the year. (What fun that was!)

    Morgellons and Medical Skepticism: Fibers Under Your Skin? You’re Crazy.

    Warning: This post is NSFWS (Not Safe For Weak Stomachs). My parents were both nurses, and my mom was in nursing school while I was a kid, so I’m accustomed to discussing body stuff openly. Dinnertime conversation when I was growing up might have included a story about an alcoholic patient whose colon rolled out of his sphincter (“looked like…

    A New Skepchick

    Hello! It’s been a while since a new Skepchick was added to the den. I’ve poked around this blog often (but commented rarely) for a few years now, and I’ve had the opportunity to knock back drinks with Skepchicks at different events—always a lot of fun. Sometimes too much fun…they sure can drink, damn. Being invited to write for Skepchick…
