Stephen Colbert Interviews the Director of the Secular Coalition for America : Pure Pedantry

ScienceBlogs Book Club: Inside the Outbreaks

Reality is always more complicated than you think.

Profile

Jake Young is a MD/PhD student at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in NYC getting a PhD in Behavioral Neuroscience. He holds a BS and MS in Biological Sciences from Stanford University. If a volcano were to erupt Pompei-style in Central Park, his body would be preserved in a scoliotic posture over his lab desk. Archeaologists would later conclude that he spent most of his day training rats to perform tricks, until he went blind building electrical equipment by hand using a dissecting microscope. But, still, he died happy...because science is cool.

Pure Pedantry is a blog about science -- social sciences and otherwise -- as well as academic and scientific culture. No one can live on science alone, so I also like to dwell on pop culture, periodically explore the humanities, and indulge in other types of geeky goodness.

DISCLAIMERS: 1) Jake Young is not a licensed physician (yet). He is merely a medical student. The information published on this site is not intended for use in medical decision-making. Please seek advice from a licensed, medical professional before making any health decisions. 2) The opinions expressed are my own.

If you want a real laugh then have a look at the thread on this topic over on Richard Dawkins site -
http://richarddawkins.net/article,3058,Better-Know-a-Lobby---Atheism,The-Colbert-Report-Lori-Lipman-Brown
Dawkins threw a bit of a hissy fit complaining that the clip was unfunny and unfair - without exactly getting that much backing from his visitors.

Sigmund: I skimmed through Dawkins' comments behind that link of yours. He merely said, and rightly so, that certain bits were unfunny. Nothing about fairness. Although, you'd expect a man of Dawkins' age to have realized long ago that some people really do have the strangest/dullest sense of humour.
