A patriotic way to spend the 4th of July this year
Battle the British invasion! Come to Bloomington, Minnesota for CONvergence on 4-7 July! Both Freethoughtblogs and Skepchick have an official presence at this con — we’re not only promoting and attending a science and skepticism track in the programming, but we also host party rooms for wild conversations after hours. Take a look at the …

Rebecca Watson gives advice to conference speakers
It’s good advice, too, although I think she’s channeling her mother in the last bit, so maybe this should be titled “Rebecca Watson’s Mom gives advice…” She’s suggesting that speakers should use their influence to increase diversity.

Fleeing Minnesota for California, briefly
It’s been miserably slushy and cold out here in Minnesota, hardly any spring at all — I have serious concerns that my incoming shipment of fertilized chicken eggs for my development course may not survive the journey.

The roster of talks and panels started at 9am, and Friday and Saturday they went on until 10pm, and it was maybe a little too densely packed …

Look at all the lovely speakers at this free conference: Brianne Bilyeu Ben Blanchard …

How I spent the last few days
I am sad to say I missed the American Atheists 2013 National Convention — it sounds like it was a blast, but I was booked up with a series of talks out in lovely warm sunny Seattle. Here’s what I’ve been up to. On Wednesday, I talked to Seattle Atheists on “Moving Atheism Beyond Science”. …
