The 30th Meeting of the Skeptics Circle

By oracknows on March 15, 2006.

It's that time again!

The 30th Meeting of the Skeptics' Circle has been posted over at Paige's Page, and it's a big one, chock full of skeptical bloggy goodness, delivered in a straight-up style:

Welcome to the 30th Skeptic's Circle, the first one with a theme song!

Come and listen to my story about a man named Jed ...

Okay, I didn't say it was an original theme song, nor did I say it was relevant, but it is kinda catchy. But, to move on to the main subject of tonight's symposium, come on in, set a spell, take your shoes off, and to phrase things as Jed Clampett would, "let's commence to skepticking"!

Enjoy!

Next up on March 30 will be at a relatively new blog, Terra Sigillata. So get your best skeptical articles to Abel Pharmboy by March 29. It's Abel's first attempt at hosting a blog carnival; so help him make it a great one.

Finally, as always, I'm putting out a call for volunteers to host. If you think you have what it takes, if you want to follow in the footsteps of the Amazing Randi, drop me a line at oracknows@gmail.com. The guidelines and schedule are here, and additional guidelines (advanced placement, basically) are here.

Time flies once again, and, seemingly so soon after the last successful Meeting of the Skeptics' Circle, the next one is fast approaching. This time around, it's going to be hosted at Geek Counterpoint. So get your entries to Lorne by Wednesday, and then join us for yet another entertaining…

All the way from Denmark: The 75th Meeting of the Skeptics' Circle

It's hard to believe that two weeks have flown by once again. It's even harder to believe that the Skeptics' Circle has been around long enough to reach its 75th edition, which this time around comes straight out of Denmark, courtesy of longtime Respectful Insolence commenter and now blogger…

The 58th Meeting of the Skeptics' Circle: I've got a whole lot of woo for you...

It's that time again, and Geek Counterpoint has delivered the woo for you (and how!) in the 58th Meeting of the Skeptics' Circle. Head on over for your fix of rational thought applied liberally to dubious claims, all expertly administered and arranged for your edification. Next up is previous two-…

The 31st Meeting of the Skeptics' Circle

Yes, it's that time again, time for the most dedicated skeptics of the blogosphere to gather once again to try to apply critical thinking in an environment where credulity is usually the order of the day, and dubious stories can proliferate and spread around the world in mere hours. This time, Abel…

Turning out the lights and moving on: Goodbye, old ScienceBlogs blog, hello new blog

October 30, 2017

Today is the last day that ScienceBlogs will exist. Sometime today the site will go into read-only mode. A few days later, it will disappear completely from the Internet. It's a sad thing to contemplate after all these years. Whatever happened later, I will always be grateful for the start in…

A quick update on the migration to a new domain

October 23, 2017

Here's a brief update on the move, announced last week. Things are progressing, and most of my old material has been transferred to the new blog, which is located at respectfulinsolence.com. Of course, there are still some things to tweak and fix, which is why, given how insanely busy this week is…

A change is gonna come. Respectful Insolence is moving.

Well, QEDCon is over, and this box of blinky lights is on its way back across the pond to its home in the US, having had an excellent time imbibing skepticism from its (mostly) British and European partners in skepticism. Before I left, I made a somewhat cryptic remark about "major changes" to this…

And the box of blinky lights has arrived in Manchester for QEDCon

October 13, 2017

As you probably noticed, I didn't manage a post yesterday. Nor did I manage one today, other than this. That's because I was busy preparing for QEDCon, where I will be on a panel and giving a talk, and, of course, putting together my talk. As I write this, I'm horrendously jet lagged; so I probably…

On the "integration" of quackery into the medical school curriculum

October 11, 2017

QEDCon is fast approaching (indeed, I can't believe I have to leave for Manchester tomorrow night), and because my talk there will be about the phenomenon of "integrative medicine," I've been thinking a lot about it. As I put together my slides, I can't help but see my talk evolving to encompass…
