Respectful Insolence

"A statement of fact cannot be insolent." The miscellaneous ramblings of a surgeon/scientist on medicine, quackery, science, pseudoscience, history, and pseudohistory (and anything else that interests him)

Who (or what) is Orac?

orac.jpg Orac is the nom de blog of a (not so) humble pseudonymous surgeon/scientist with an ego just big enough to delude himself that someone, somewhere might actually give a rodent's posterior about his miscellaneous verbal meanderings, but just barely small enough to admit to himself that few will. (Continued here, along with a DISCLAIMER that you should read before reading any medical discussions here.)

Orac's old Blog is archived at Archived Insolence.

You turned me on to Bad Astronomy and I have become a regular reader since then. I have watched the stars since I was a kid, and he adds so much.

I was going to say something witty, but I better run to the auditorium quick before all the seats Phil up. I expect today's colloquium speaker to draw quite a crowd.

Also: "Hah hah, I get to go see Phil Plait right now, and you don't."
