1. I finally have stuff up on YouTube, two videos. Go watch them if you like. At the moment I'm competing with Sensei Chris Mooney for views and ratings.... 2. For those who missed my Skeptics Society debate with Ron Bailey over who's worse when it comes to abusing science, you can order a copy here. This, I suspect, will not be on YouTube. 3. I appeared last week on Mother Jones radio, you can listen here. Here's a synopsis of what I talked about: "Republican War on Science author Chris Mooney tells us that it's time for scientists to publicly fight right-wing misinformation on science. He says many scientists have "ivory tower syndrome. They know people like themselves, and they communicate very well with people like themselves, but the great unwashed masses of the United States...they're like, 'Who are these weird people who don't get evolution, and what can we possibly say to them?' Well, they're our fellow Americans, and we're going to have to communicate with them eventually, or these rifts are never going to go away." 4. Al Gore is going to do a book called "The Assault on Reason." The meme is spreading.... 5. Something called Capitol Reader has a "summary" of my book. Wouldn't it be nice if somebody were to order it, look at it, see if it's really accurate....

About to fly back to DC from Portland via LAX. No more blogging till that happens....
