Rebecca Watson
What's the talk about?
It's not easy being a rational person in what often seems to be in irrational world. How do you stay true to your skeptical standpoint without sounding like a tiresome know-it-all? This talk will give some helpful life tips using real-life examples and pre-recorded reenactments starring Jon Ronson, Professor Chris French, and Dr Adam Rutherford of BBC's The Cell.
Rebecca Watson leads a team of skeptical female activists at Skepchick.org, co-hosts the weekly podcast The Skeptics’ Guide to the Universe, produces pin-up calendars of scientists and skeptics, and attempts to rock harder each year.
She currently lives in London where she works as a freelance writer in order to fund her hardcore skepticism habit. There is currently an asteroid orbiting the sun with her name on it.

What's the talk about?
I am proud to announce that our first ever-social meet-up has now been organised!
I am starting a monthly skeptical drinking session in Nottingham, and to throw a topic up to get people thinking and talking. Sticking to the topic is of course not mandatory!
This follows on from Octobers speaker, Rebecca Watson's talk and the fall out from Phil Plait's now infamous ' Don't be a Dick' talk at TAM 8 and wondered what people are thinking? Are we rude, snobby, know it alls or is this piece of skeptic fluff which we can safely ignore.
When October 26th at 7:30PM
Where the Roebuck Inn, 9-11 St. James's Street, Nottingham
Everyone one is welcome and I hope to see you there.
