One of my favorite things to do is give invited lectures. I've talked about Bad Astronomy (like the Moon Hoax, Planet X, silly movie science, and the face on Mars) all over this country (and Australia, too), and it's big fun every time.

I appreciate the invite, Janie, but I think I'll have to pass. I prefer gingerbread museums, anyway.
