Skepticism

  • God, I love this blog

    Thanks to all of the Skepchick bloggers, readers, and especially all of you who take the time to comment. You are all the greatest! I know we sometimes get a little riled up in the discussions, but then we kiss and make up. That’s what makes this blog so terrific. I hope that some of you who read and lurk…

  • Good Times Chicago -UPDATED!

While I appreciate all the talk of my boobs, next time feel free to talk about other skeptical topics as well. Alex suggested someone take minutes at the next meet up to make my post-meet-up…

  • Do Women Boast Enough?

    I was just reading a BBC News article (well, an opinion piece really) about how Brits boast more than they used to. I think there’s some truth to that.

Not really, as it turns…

  • Monster Sunday 4: Werewolves

    This is weird, but true. The other day I was thinking that if humans had a short coat of hair over our whole bodies like cats do, that maybe we would look better. OK not all of we. Gorgeous people like [Halle Berry] or [Jude Law] (fill in the names of your favorite sexy stars) could stay hairless, but those…

  • I’m Alive… Really, I just was hiding in lab…

    I realize that I haven’t been written for Skepchick since promising to provide more tidbits from my expedition last summer to the Indian Ocean, so I’m writing to let everyone know I’m alive and was just hiding in lab. I spent the last two months working 12-hour days (including most weekends) collecting data from MIT before moving to Woods Hole…
