Just uploading some of the footage from yesterday (Day Two) -- but as you wait for that, you can check out part three here…
By the way, readers (and I was SO thrilled to meet you yesterday!) -- some links that I mentioned when part of that FANTASTIC panel presentation yesterday on education:
Most importantly -- the Google Group for Critical Teaching. Was very proud to plug this group and the flyers are around the SkepticTrack room. Do check us out!
Translucent Science (and Karen saw Phil Plait writing down Dore as ‘Door’, so don’t worry if you feel like the last to know about evidence-based education and how science bloggers are tackling it -- there is always room for more activists);
I nearly fell over when a mother in the audience asked one of the BEST questions of the entire convention regarding ‘I’m a mother of a kindergarten-age child, where I can seek support’ and I threw out a few brainstormy ideas like http://www.parentingbeyondbelief.com/ and the series of posts on Skeptical Books for Children -- and she said she knew my blog! Hello to those women who said hello to me!
Today, if you’re hoping to catch what Karen Stollznow and Richard Saunders (and some goth-looking Australian who really enjoyed the education panel…) -- we’re doing:
- Supernatural How-To -- Richard Saunders at 10am
- TANK Vodcast at 1pm (and we’re RELAUNCHING the show, with a new site! Come along and give suggestions!)
- Pigs Might Fly Origami -- over at the Marriot in M101 at 5.30pm
- The Future of Skepticism -- starring Karen ‘Skepbitch’ Stollznow as the rep of the younger generation who is going to be making some serious waves in skepticism both in Australia and internationally -- that’ll be at 8.30pm
And then there’s Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along-Blog, which isn’t really skepticism, but I’m not going to miss… that’ll be at 11.30pm.
Will upload and comment more later, right now off to help at the Skeptic Table at the Marriot and sell books and things. Come over, say hi!

Southern redneck meets really, really, really southern redneck?
Yes, people in the US need support. Thinking rationally here can lead to loss of friends, home and job. About half the people in the country will vote for anyone who will fight the evil conspiracy of scientists that created evolution and global warming.
