TAM London \u2013 The Amaz!ing Panel<\/strong><\/p>\n

Conway Hall, Holborn<\/h5>\n

Sign Up Here<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As part of the official fringe to the first ever London TAM<\/a>, there will be a panel meeting about the Internet and Scepticism<\/a>. I will be rushing back from a meeting and so I will not have time to don my usual sceptical wig (pictured above). However, I plan to answer all your questions with wit and insight \u2013 sans syrup*.<\/p>\n

(For Americans who plan to come, we promise not to speak David Hockney** all night).<\/p>\n

You will have the chance to engage in intercourse with the following delightful panel \u2013 all at once:<\/p>\n

George Hrab<\/strong> is a drummer<\/a>, skeptic and podcaster<\/a> who also tweets<\/a> some of the funniest things at machine gun pace.<\/p>\n

Rebecca Watson<\/strong> is one of the founders of Skepchick<\/a> and is a host on The Skeptics’ Guide to the Universe<\/a> podcast<\/a>. She is unlikely to respond to proposals of marriage from the audience.<\/p>\n

Martin Robbins<\/strong> created Lay Science<\/a> and wears a menacing Matrix style leather coat which makes him look a bit Mariah Carey***<\/p>\n

Neil Denny<\/strong> is a producer and presenter on Little Atoms<\/a> on Resonance 104.4FM<\/a>. He has interviewed more famous scientists than you could shake a sceptical stick at. <\/p>\n

Tim Farley<\/strong> created the invaluable What\u2019s the Harm<\/a> web site where the dangers of uncritical belief in magic medicine are documented. He is currently lost somewhere in London.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And me. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

See you there and maybe for a Dame Edna Everidge**** afterwards.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
