ROCK THE VOTE!
OH my. I’m just so . . . so . . . titillated would be the word, I suppose. I previously mentioned the hot contest between PZ Myers of Pharyngula and Phil Plait of Bad Astronomy — well, it just got hotter. PZ has officially agreed that if, nay when, he loses, he will pose in the 2008 Skepdude Calendar as punishment for insulting Phil’s photo for this year. Were the impossible to h... »
And The Picture…
My link to the cool picture of ALH84001 didn’t show up in the last entry. I’m still figuring out the quirks of this software, I guess. Hope the image shows up below here. If not, check out this link. »

Mass Spectrometric Musings
Last Saturday, I met up with my favorite skepchick Rebecca and we took the train north of Boston to meet up with some friends for a Newtonmas Party hosted by a skeptic friend of ours.
