I had a great time in Vegas at The Amaz!ng Meeting (TAM2012) this past July and there are still a few events planned for the rest of the year. My old suitcases were on there last leg, so I splurged on some brand new Victoria’s Secret PINK luggage. I love ‘em!

My talks will be on how art can be used to promote science and skepticism. Be sure to check out my books and merchandise that you can bring along for autographs!
