Keyboards and synths were once very taboo instruments. In fact, many people didn’t even consider them instruments at all, but rather toys. The general public thought that no “serious” rock bands had them. This was just a silly fad. (I may get into the reasons for this at some other time.) Depeche Mode helped change…
Like today, 9/11/01 was a Tuesday. I remember this because I was working that morning, Assistant Manager at Sam Goody. I was initially focused on the new music releases that came out that day. It often seems like 9/11/01 was just a few years ago. But when I think about the details, it gets in…

Last week, Phil Plait wrote a piece on Slate defending his promotion of Mayim Bialik. I wrote a blog post disagreeing with it. I’m pleasantly surprised that Phil Plait changed his mind and now understands that endorsing her as a science figure is harmful. When I started writing my blog post about it last week, Skeptical OB…
This image was widely shared from the I Fucking Love Science twitter and facebook pages. It was posted in March, but Mayim Bialik is regularly praised by many skeptics as a great role model for young people or an entertainer who is something more.
