A wicked sense of humour encapsulating a very bright mind. I will be more actively involved now, a whole new world of opportunity to discuss the issues and do something about them. Michael Kylie

Plus the other speakers had the luxury of not being an MC as well. :) Your presentation was excellent and had (IIRC) more research data in it than any of the other presenters.

When, where? :/ Thank you so much!! :) I noticed that the presentation of Robyn Williams has appeared NOWHERE in any coverage... which leads me to think that perhaps all the journos skipped his and my presentation for a coffee? Fair enough they skipped mine (I'm just a freelance writer in comparison to all the <em>real </em>names), but Williams is a leader in science communication! :/ ‘Einstein’? When, where? :/

So sad that the convention is over - I tried tracking you down during the breaks but didn't have any luck, I'm guessing you were quite busy behind the scenes and such. Was great to put a face to the voice, I'm a regular listener of the Skeptic Zone. Amusing reading some of the articles that have been published about the convention, particularly those written by journalists who obviously didn't attend but tried to sound as if they had (one in particular babbled about Einstein and other 'authorities', which I don't recall ever actually being mentioned during the entire convention).
