One Astronomer's Noise

There have been some really great sciencey updates over at the Charlottesville Skeptics blog, including a proposed book club and the upcoming Social Hour on January 22nd at Court Square (also advertised on the Skepchick events page!).

I also want to link to my good friend Nix and her own example of everyday skepticism, although she doesn’t use that word for it. The scientific way of thinking about an idea proves to be an excellent way of working in the business world, too.

Finally, if you haven’t heard by now, plumes of methane discovered on Mars point to recent geological, or even biological, causes. Thanks to Ian O’Neill over as AstroEngine for Twittering the NASA press conference. This was helpful to me since I couldn’t get the video! Check out his coverage and tweets. My take on this story can be found at CVille Skeptics.
