sharon-hill

I am so out of the loop with a lot of things at the moment, so I'm just going to give up commenting on anything. You're probably sick to death of everyone talking about that stuff anyway. Here's something different! Today involved three interviews in one day and preparation for more interviews throughout the rest of the week. It's all in the works for the forthcoming ScienceRewired Big Science Communication Summit! Here's some of my recent interviews you may have missed: At 365 Days of … [Read more...]

ockham award token skeptic thanks hayley

It's 8am on a Sunday morning. I'm deep into working on a number of projects and assignments for school, and dealing with an injury that has flared up *just* in time to get in the way of my working on a number of projects... and I forgot when the Skeptic Ockham Awards were on. I thought it was on tomorrow night. And I shouldn't be on the internet, I have too many projects, argh... But the Token Skeptic podcast just won the podcast category in the Ockham Awards, being held over at QEDCon in … [Read more...]

Lizzie Bennet Diaries On Kickstarter (And What Appears To Be Final Q&A)

If you're not a regular watcher of the Lizzie Bennet Diaries, you have a lot of episodes to catch up on (and I envy you for being able to watch it all from the beginning, when there's only two left to go!). But I did want to mention this Kickstarter, in case you want to get the series on DVD: They've already reached close to $200,000, after their $60,000 goal... so you can pretty much assume that there's a lot of Jane Austen fans out there like me who are keen to see this happening! Do … [Read more...]

On “Still Podcasting” – Women Hosted Podcasting, 2012 (Transom, Libsyn And More)

It's a little difficult telling people what I do for fun. Yesterday, at a lunch, I had people doing the usual, polite "So, what are you doing now?" kind of conversation, and instead of my knee-jerk reaction of "Oh, the usual: swinging upside down on a chandelier, covered in blancmange, dripping stars and singing to the elephants," I said that I was studying radio full-time, teaching part-time, creating resources for a number of groups (education locally and international), volunteering here … [Read more...]

On February 6th of this year, the Skeptics Society announced a new project over on the Skepticblogs site, authored by Daniel Loxton: For over twenty … [Read more...]
