Now on ScienceBlogs: Casual Fridays: What makes a good writer, and what motivates them?
"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)

Orac's old Blog is archived at Archived Insolence.
