Rational people know, and abhor, the pandemic involving the denialist-virus. We now appear to have an attempt by
Liz Ditz (
Twitter) to bring those valliant people opposing the
anti-science movement together in what is called
ScienceMobsters. Some of them you may recognise from my blogroll. This science promotion movement is, as Liz explains
here and
here, the result of:
a series of tweets from Homeopathyinfo (http://twitter.com/homeopathyinfo/).
The ensuing debate made her compile a list of potential candidates. The criteria for inclusion are:
* science / reality based
* Forthright about challenging pseudoscience (homeopathy, chiropractic for anything other than low back pain, reiki, etc.)
The secret society
members, and related things, can be found at
#Sciencemob. At present it appears to focus on nonsensical medical claims, though global warming and evolution are not excluded. Suggestions for new members you can leave at the
Sciencemob Twitter feed. My blogroll has some good candidates so Liz:)
