Richard Saunders, gentleman skeptic, has put up a new Skeptic Tank video podcast. He interviews perennial favorite Skepchick Rebecca Watson, which is, as usual, highly entertaining. Watch the whole thing! Hint: there may be a picture posted briefly of some interest to BABloggees.

About Bad Astronomy
If you went to BadAstronomy.com and found yourself here, never fear: the BA Blog has moved to its new home at Discover Blogs. The original BA site (with the Moon Hoax debunking and all that) is still online, too.
Phil Plait, the creator of Bad Astronomy, is an astronomer, lecturer, and author. After ten years working on Hubble Space Telescope and six more working on astronomy education, he struck out on his own as a writer. He has written two books, dozens of magazine articles, and 12 bazillion blog articles. He is a skeptic, and fights misuses of science as well as praising the wonder of real science.
Bad Astronomy was chosen as one of Time.com's Best Blogs of 2009. 
Open Lab 2008 is a collection of the best blog posts of the year, all in one place. Are you a science junkie? Yeah, you want it. -

"If things worked the way I wanted them to, any reporter about to do another 'sensational' story on deadly meteors would consult this volume, and bang! common sense would find its way into the news. How strange would that world be?"

Rebecca isn’t a nudist?
Well I guess that explains why she was so put off that time I stopped by… Next time I’ll wear some pants.

I almost fell off my chair. Nice telescope!

And suddenly I feel so depressingly inadequate with my Schmidt Cassegrain, but at least mine is easier to carry around.
Meanwhile, Isaac Newton and John Dobson just shared a collective spit-take across the ether …

Nice telescope. Every man needs his phallus, and you seem to have the most impressive one out there.

Okay but as someone else criticize, bland. No relevance to others than fans already of this woman as she doesn’t DO anything in her show than talk? Alaska talk she gave really bombed I heard, didn’t do nothing but show 20 min of pics. Not a scientist, really should use the prize money to go to college and learn how? That’d be something to hear as an experience.
Then I’m bored of nude calanders because everyone does them really - and it was months and months and months ago that it was news. Hope Pamela Gay or that SAPS girl gets on the show because they do more than talk about themselves and really do things in astronomy and real investigations and work with JREF, not just give money. Good idea for a show but not a good person to choose - Phil at least could talk about his book! More clothed brains of Phil not telescope!
