Gender and sex are complicated topics, and anyone who claims they're simple doesn't know enough about them. Steve discusses some of the considerations around sex and gender in sports.

Our new book, The Skeptic's Guide to the Future, explores where futurists get things right, and the biases and traps that can lead them down the wrong path. We try to learn from their mistakes and take our own shot at projecting the future.

A small victory but we'll take it. Canadian college shamed out of approving a degree program in homeopathy. "You have a degree in bologna."

I'm a medical oncologist.
Every year I meet lovely people who once had curable cancers but were persuaded to take alternative therapies.
When I meet them, the window of hope for cure has slammed shut because of unscrupulous purveyors of unproven treatments.

Steve responds to the
@nytimes
article about Uri Geller that claims “Skeptics couldn’t beat him. Now they’ve joined him.”
Steve:
“Trying to rehabilitate this charlatan now misses the actual story and the real controversy. It’s just apologizing for fraud.”
