Don't answer that. But just in case you can at least tolerate listening to me, I'm interviewed on NSTA's Lab Out Loud podcast.

Laurie David claims that National Science Teachers' Association (the NSTA) is inconveniently hooked up with big oil because they won't spend the money to send out 50,000 copies of the "An Inconvenient Truth" DVD.
If I do the math and estimate that it costs $4 to mail each DVD, that includes…
Some of my fellow bloggers and I have been following the fall out from an Op Ed piece in the Washington Post on the NSTA's refusal to mail 50,000 copies of the "An Inconvient Truth" DVD to it's members. You can read earlier posts: here, here, and here.
Today, the NSTA confirmed that they never…
John Abraham is a scientist at St Thomas University in the Twin Cities. John is famous for doing battle with a famous science denialist (that's what the meme above refers to), for his blog at the Guardian, for his research in several areas such as ocean heat, and for keeping track of month by month…

If you haven't read Laurie David's op-ed, "Science a la Joe Camel," in yesterday's Washington Post, I recommend clicking over to it. David was a producer of Al Gore's climate change documentary "An Inconvenient Truth," and reports that the National Science Teachers Association (…
Ok, I'll be the first arse-kisser and compliment PZ on his speaking and lecture skills. After listening to his 'There is no ghost your Brain' lecture, I had a masochistic urge to go back to school for another graduate degree. Then I remembered how much I like the luxury of sleeping ...
Oh man, I remember that poor student last semester you talked about. I hope you let more students blog this semester. That was a fun experiment.
congrats on the voice exposure.
Here's an idea for the atheist/religious zealotry part of your blog.

"The rocket blasted off after a countdown to cries of "Allahu Akbar!" (God is Greatest), from the space centre in a desert region in the northern Semnan province, state television showed."
I discussed this quote with a ninja friend of mine, and we agreed that such scientific achievement juxtaposed with Allah, or any God for that matter, is a most odd and uniquely human compulsion. I'm sure your readers would agree.
God also favored Eli Manning.
Being possessed of an alternating flat and sharp eastern Ontario Canada accent, I would never cast aspersions on voice (today I am surprised I can even spell "aspersions"..)
My comment is much like those regarding the radio show last week - I figured PZ's voice would be this large "fill the room / peel the paint off walls / frighten small children" voice when it is in fact a nice soft professorial voice .. that still has a nice sharpness and terrific chuckle when provoked by "chuckle-headed" ideas as it was on the radio show (for clarity I mean the great debate last week not the current 'cast PZ links to in this thread)
As one of the interviewers for the podcast, I thought PZ would be gruff and booming. He was surprisingly gentle and paternal. It was a strange juxtaposition.
Little known fact: the horns and tail are fully retractable.
Reality can be hard to accept. Helps if it comes from a kind yet unwavering voice.***
Awww ... :pouts:
And here I thought I'd get a prehensile tail by joining the Grand Atheist Conspiracy.
As someone who is relatively new to PZ's blog(where've I been - are these internets' things really going to take off?), this was a great, personalized bit of background. Thanks PZ
