Skepticism
TAM London Has Begun
I know, you’re writhing with jealousy because I and 599 others are at TAM London and you’re not. Well, take heart, because you can follow along at home by reading Skepchick, where I’ll be posting occasional updates, or by checking out Twitter, where I (@rebeccawatson) and everyone else (#tamlondon) will be capturing the action.
Professor Brian Cox is on now talking about CERN and twats. More to come!
Cox and twats ?
Could someone mention what the heck TAM is? Phil Plait has been talking about it for weeks. No idea what the event is or what the initials stand for.
@Craig: The Amazing Meeting
It’s a skeptical extravaganza. Lots of sciency stuff and issues important to the skeptical and rationalist community. It’s also the major fund raiser for the James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF) which Phil Plait is president of. James Randi was a magician before he started the JREF and often preformed under the name “The Amazing Randi”. The JREF also hold the amazing challenge which is a $1 million prize for anyone who can demonstrate any psychic, supernatural or paranormal ability.
@ Rebecca : “writhing”
Why yes I am. Take what pleasure you see fit. (and have fun!! ;-P)
Stalk Adam Savage for me! Man, I’m so jealous – but I do get to meet Randi next month at my area’s Carl Sagan Day. :D
No stream like for TAM:Vegas?
Lame.
On day two, there wasn’t even a credit card machine. I couldn’t buy the books I wanted because I had no cash … :(
