There is an excellent question from LaShawn below. It is thoughtful, and in my opinion, totally fair. I was excited to answer it when I read it. Hello Noell, I have been reading your blog for a few months, and there are a few questions I feel compelled to ask. This is meant to be [...]

Would you be interested in hearing my first ever interview? This month’s HNN podcast revolved mostly around Darwin Day, but other topics as well. My interview is somewhere in the middle (segment 3) of podcast #15. Go take a listen and come back with any thoughts you have.

The book (the one I contributed to) now has a website. I am so excited to get my hands on this thing. Having just read exerpts of some of the other articles, I realized it’ll be even more amazing than I expected. There is some good stuff in there! Please go check out the site!

My article is up on the Humanist Network News! Click here to read it. In fact, the article may relate in some way to a comment/question that Angel posted last week. Angel: If you are still here, the article I linked to may interest you. I do plan to address your specific concern about having [...]
