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.

The 115th Meeting of the Skeptics' Circle: A Skeptical Journey Through the Universe

Category: AnnouncementsBlog carnivalsSkeptics' Circle
Posted on: July 17, 2009 4:00 PM, by Orac

It may be a day late, but it was worth it. The latest installment of the Skeptics' Circle, that long-running blog carnival of skepticism and critical thinking (hey, four and a half years is a really long time in the blogosphere).

This time around, let TechSkeptic take you on A Skeptical Journey Through the Universe, complete with pretty pictures!

Next up will be Beyond the Short Coat, a skeptical medical student who wants to take a shot at this blog carnival on Thursday, July 30. Be sure to send your best skeptical blog posts!

Finally, I notice that the waiting list for hosts is getting a bit on the short side. In fact, at around two months it's shorter than it's been in a very long time. We must rectify this situation and line up a few more hosts in order to assure the continued survival and prospering of the Circle! So, once again, I ask you, my readers: Do you think you're up for it? Are you skeptic enough? If you think so, take a gander at the schedule and archives and then mosey on over to take a look at the guidelines for hosts. If you still think you have what it takes, then drop me a line at orac@scienceblogs.com, and I'll get you on the schedule.
