rebecca watson

hi all. i have been a keen listener for a few years but recently am saddened by their reluctance to even mention the current questions about the skeptism of one of their presenters. i think if they dont address this they will lose a lot of their listeners. i, for one, am finding it difficult...

There's a wee stramash developing on twitter at the moment that seems to indicate it may not be the ideal medium for rational debate. Basically, PZ Myers may or may not have blocked a twitter user. When he was asked why, Rebecca Watson chimed in with certain allegations concerning the user. I...

Been tracking this for a bit, this spat between Rebecca Watson and Richard Dawkins, and the one thing that keeps coming to mind is why anyone felt any need to comment. I still don't think (a.) Rebecca should have wasted her time mentioning a guy who thought he'd get lucky with a woman who'd...

This thread is a request for evidence. First the thread rules, thank you for respecting them, I think most of you know why they are needed. This thread is not about elevatorgate, please do not derail it. This thread is not about men who are sexist, or women who've been sexually assaulted if...

Now that we've talked the elevator issue to death, I'm curious about the opinions of those who are angry with Richard Dawkins. What can he do to "redeem himself", in your mind, if anything?

I just came across this funny youtube video from our former member. I didn't even know she had a youtube until now, although I occasionally read her blog. pfGG77RPwN4 What is it with so many athletes' strange belief in the power of semen to enhance athletic performance? :D

I just heard the news that Rebecca got married at TAM! I didn't know why she hasn't been around JREF for awhile (I haven't been active all that much either), but this is wonderful news. We haven't gotten together in awhile - this seems a good excuse for a party. (Is Rebecca still in Boston? Or...

As you may, or may not know. Rebecca will be in London in January, and will be giving a talk at the London Skeptics in the Pub (talk to be announced). Please reply here if you would like her to make an appearance at any other London venues and which days, then I will see what I can negotiate. -S
