Join Trine Tsouderos for a web chat with Dr. Paul Offit
Here’s something for you all to check out. Trine Tsouderos, the journalist from The Chicago Tribune who’s distinguished herself as being one of the few reporters who “gets it” when it comes to quackery and the anti-vaccine movement (just put her name in the search box of this blog for some examples) will be hosting a web chat about vaccines featuring none...
Don’t miss our fearless leader…
…Steve Novella, who will be featured as the guest on a live chat with Trine Tsouderos discussing alternative treatments for Alzheimer’s, ALS and other neurological conditions at noon CST. Be there, aloha.
It is all about me.
I was interviewed for Birmingham Skeptics and you can hear the result at http://brumskeptics.blogspot.com/2011/01/podcast-posting-interview-with-mark.html. It is bad enough listening to myself as I correct my podcasts, so I have no idea how good the interview is; it was fun at the time. And the picture makes me look fatter than I am. Oh well.
Like a Car Accident, Slow Down and Stare.
I gave a lecture last fall on The Vaccine Pseudocontrovery for Oregonians for Science and Reason. There are evidently Oregonians against Science and Reason, hence the title. My Dad went and said it was a good talk. You going to argue with Dad? I think not. Someone with a handheld camera recorded it, edited it, and put it up on the YouTubes...
With the Drunken Skeptics, and I hadn’t even had a single beer…
Here’s an interview I recorded a while back that’s shown up on the Michigan Skeptics website. Check out Adam’s Song: Episode 5 of the Drunken Skeptics Podcast. It was a fun and interesting discussion…
SBM 1000th Post
I have the pleasure of announcing that this is the 1000th post of Science-Based Medicine. The first post introducing the blog was on January 1st 2008 – almost three years ago. We have published steadily since then, and this post marks number 1000. I would like to take this time to thank the many regular contributors and editors who have added to...
Skeptically Speaking with Dr. Gorski
I have been very, very remiss about this, but I totally forgot to pimp my appearance a week and a half ago on Skeptically Speaking. Part of the reason was that I tend to be rather shy about interviews, and part of the reason was that I just plain forgot. Given our having dedicated this week to the discussion of vaccines on...
SBM Host Change
Tonight (Friday Night) we will be moving SBM to a new faster host. This will improve the performance of SBM, which has been sluggish recently, and give us the ability to increase our resources as needed as SBM continues to grow. Comments posted between Friday night and approximately Sunday morning may be lost in the gap as the location of the new...
The 2010 Lorne Trottier Public Science Symposium
I really have to give those guys at McGill University’s Office for Science and Society credit. They’re fast. Remember how I pointed out that I’ve been away at the Lorne Trottier Public Science Symposium? This year, the theme was Confronting Pseudoscience: A Call to Action, and I got to share the stage with Michael Shermer, Ben Goldacre, and, of course, our host,...
At the Lorne Trottier Symposium…
In lieu of a proper post, please instead accept this announcement of my appearance at the 2010 Lorne Trottier Public Science Symposium in Montreal!
