CURRENT MISSION

It's now or never... I am currently working on achieving my list of things to do and places to see before I die. At the moment, that means traveling all over the world attending all of the most amazing scientific conferences.

ABOUT ME

My goals are to bring science, skepticism, and critical thinking to Northern California...and the world! To that end, I maintain a blog, which discusses issues of interest to science and skepticism, peppered with some humanistic ideas about our society in general. In addition to this, I help the Chico Skeptics bring critical thought to our community by serving as its president, and participate in the world wide skeptical movement by (hopefully) contributing a tiny bit to the collective conversation.

I am a student, as are many other active skeptics in local communities. This is an important point to make in the interest of full disclosure: I am not an expert in the fields I discuss. I am currently pursuing a degree in biology, and I have a background in journalism.

PHILOSOPHY

I am an atheist, skeptic, feminist, and most importantly - a humanist. I hold quite liberal political views, and would be more than happy to discuss them with you at length. :)
