If you’re unfamiliar with Skepchick’s Rebecca Watson, here’s a few things to know: James Randi loves her; she’s trashed hotel rooms with Christopher Hitchens; back when her popular feminist/science skepticism/rational thought blog was getting legs she would daylight as a copy writer; she’s the co-host of The Skeptics’ Guide to the Universe podcast; and finally, she’s a bit of a badass who runs an extremely popular website designed to topple empires.
Another good thing to know about Watson is that she and her forward-thinking ladygang will be in Dallas — okay, Frisco — this September for the Feminist Faces of Freethought Conference.
Scheduled to gargle the holy water of Dallas’ religious fundamentalists on September 21, the two-day conference’s guest speakers have been announced. It looks like the entire Skepchick crew is involved, among others.
