Join the North Carolina group on Nature Network

Remember a couple of weeks ago, when I complained that Triangle is too narrow a term for a Hub at Nature Network, as there is really no humongous city where everything is centered but the science is distributed all around the state of North Carolina, with people collaborating with each other and traveling back and forth between various regions of the state.

For years now, one of the major themes of this blog, between laying the cluestick on anti-vaccine loons and examining quackery and pseudoscience in all its forms, has been to examine the infiltration of quackademic medicine into medical academia. The reason, as you might expect, is because, as an…

Is there an official group? Or are you automatically in North Carolina just by entering that as your location? This page seems to be driven by automatically indexing locations

I think it is automatic, until we grow big enough to become a Hub. We'll get bigger sooner if the group is not limited to Triangle.
