Godless high school students have people to turn to

Various godless/critical thinking organizations are doing a good thing: they are expanding their sphere of interest into the high schools, and there are now new resources available to students. If you're interested in learning more about what you can do to be a secular activist in your high school, you can contact JT Eberhard at the Secular Student Alliance, and now a new person, Jessica Ahlquist at the Center for Inquiry.

Which clearly sets up a necessary future event: we must have a steel cage match between JT and Jessica. JT keeps bragging that he's more eviler than me, so I'm rooting for the tiny little woman to kick his butt.

You can watch Jessica, along with other high school students Harrison Hopkins, Damon Fowler, and Zack Kopplin speak. The future is looking good!

A common question I am asked, on my blog and in real life, is what is the "trick" to getting into a good graduate program (for the sciences). The trick is that there is no trick, but there are a few preparatory steps that *do* make all the difference in the application process. And no, it isn't…
