| Bio: | I love science and the scientific method. And mystery novels. And dogs and cats, especially little tiny rescued dogs. Please everyone--if you're thinking of getting a pet, check the pounds, shelters, rescue organizations first! You'll be amazed at the fabulous companions that await you there.
I'm a social scientist veering into public health. That's the part that brings home the bacon. I'm also a capital-S Skeptic. If you suspect you might be as well, check out www.skeptic.com. Or the Center for Inquiry homepage at www.cfi.net. Sorry kids, but there's just no evidence for (G)god/ess(s)/(es) or anything else supernatural. It's all right here, so let's make the best of it, shall we?
