A shortened version of my spiel at the DragonCon panel can be found at http://www.spacecityskeptics.wordpress.com, under “Rome wasn’t built in a day”.

@Jay, Yes, hope to meet you soon!
@Barbara I was sorry to miss that panel you and Kylie and Matt were on. I didn’t know the Skeptic Society has a conference, good news for left-coasters!
@Kylie, OK, following now, thanks!

Great post, Laurie! Good ideas, all, and I’m glad you two made it Dragon*Con. Something tells me that skeptics are there to stay…

I’d like to add that Skeptic Society has a great conference, although it is not an annual event: http://www.skeptic.com

And parents & teachers can get info at http://www.criticalteaching.org

Excellent post, Laurie.

Even though unexpected event have kept me from the meetups you’ve had so far, I hope to get to one soon.

We’ve had a few state and local news items pop to national attention lately that really drive home the need for fostering stronger critical thinking skills wherever possible.

Thanks for your efforts!

[...] The panel wound up being a nice, basic discussion on how to actually go out and be skeptical, and be an active skeptic. It’s not all that hard to do, certainly no harder than just getting our of bed every day (which I am not underestimating). Laurie T. from Rational Moms was in the audience for that panel, and she wrote up a nice blog post (by nice I mean sufficiently pandering to me) about a few simple things you can do to spread the wonder and joy of being a skeptic.

@Vanessa I’m so glad that you started your group even though you were a bit scared. Great work! I love the idea of family-friendly Skeptics in the Park!

@Kylie It was wonderful meeting you at Dragon*Con. You are a great inspiration to us skeptical females. BTW, “podblackblog” didn’t return any hits on a twitter search, is it private?

Yes, it was great fun writing that document. Of course, you can always check out our blogs and I have an account on Twitter (called podblackblog) where people can ‘Tweet’ questions or inquiries and I’ll blog at length in response to them.

My next conference? This one! http://www.atheistconvention.org.au/kylie-sturgess/
