Skepchick in the Office
I work in an office. As such, it is simply not possible to survive for more than a week without receiving at least three mass e-mail fowards. I received the first one the second day I worked here — it involved the carcinogenic danger of microwaving plastic containers. I clicked “Reply to All” and wrote, “Actually, that’s an urban legend.…

An interlude about last night . . .
. . . in which I take an evening off from science and skepticism only to hang out with scientist skeptics and talk about science and skepticism. I’ve heard I’m not the only one who feels April is the most vicious stretch of weeks. Pity poor T.S. Eliot, as he probably had no access to the surest cure for a…

“Phone It In” Saturday
I’m a bit buried under work right now. Taxes need to be mailed, I have a huge stack of science/skeptical books I’m working through (I can’t help it — I regularly pass by six bookstores and two libraries just going to and from work), a magazine to pull together, eight thousand e-mails to answer, and some other ultra-ninja-secret Skepchick stuff…
