It's a busy week at The Intersection. This morning I'm headed to the WUNC studio to chat with Frank Stasio on The State of Things about Unscientific America. Meanwhile, Chris will be speaking at Northwestern University in Illinois tonight. Tomorrow I'm at Quail Ridge Books and Music in Raleigh, North Carolina and Friday you can hear me on The Scott Dick Show. Posting may be light, but we have lots coming...
