Happy birthday Genie.
Please keep up the good work.
Speaking as an concerned Australian, I’m grateful for your efforts to help keep the barbarians away from the gate.

Well, the power of the blogosphere is awesome. Thanks to Phil, and bloggers PZ Myers and Greg Laden, over 20 people joined NCSE in the last few days. Thanks, guys — I appreciate the good wishes and NCSE appreciates the new members and renewals.

Actually, when I taught at California universities years ago some students would ask me “are you on television?” getting Eugenie Scott mixed up with Eugene Scott. Lately, however, I find more people confusing me with the quite wonderful Eugenie Clark (http://www.sharklady.com/) You’d be surprised how many people come up to me and say, “I love your work! Thanks so much for what you do” which makes me feel pretty good. And then they say, “Do you still dive?”

Oh well. It beats being confused with Dr. Eugene Scott. Even if he had cool horses.

I probably caught the same talk as Trebuchet. She does such a wonderful job presenting. Between that and I think it was an interview she did with Swoopy that she achieved hero status with me.

You had me worried there for a minute that you were honoring Gene Scott. Phew! B^)

I recently watched, on a local university channel, a lecture she gave a couple of years ago about the Discovery Institute. She’s great — lots of humor even though the topic was quite serious.
