Description: Firstly, a three minute message about WHAT. HAS. BEEN. GOING. ON. and why an episode was delayed for a MONTH. Truly sorry, but unexpected circumstances. Then what? An audio version of an essay that I've written for CSICOP's Curiouser and Curiouser about skepticism, sexism, diversity and all the things you might roll your eyes about - but may not have realised that it's been a concern for a very long time. So, it's going to continue that way unless we work on it even more. Enjoy!  Many thanks to Dr Karen Stollznow, Michael McRae, Desiree Schell, Barbara Drescher and The Digital Cuttlefish for advice, suggestions and guidance while writing this piece. The written version of this podcast will be appearing on the CSICOP website - but the quotes and references I make (and in some cases directly read out) are as follows: The Code of Conduct for the Amazing Meeting: With TAM Right Around the Corner, Some Important Announcements - for JREF's TAM9 Dr Karen Stollznow's leaving of the Australian Skeptics: Sceptic's Fight Defies Belief The 1997 ‘CSICOP’s Rational Feminist Alliance’ Sara Mayhew's blogpost 'Some Practical Thoughts: Women in Skepticism' Dylan Keenburg of 'Woo Fighters' reported from TAM8 Phil Plait ‘Don’t Be A Dick’ talk at TAM8 The 'Don't Be That Guy' panel at Balticon Daniel Loxton on Skeptic Blogs in his post 'The Science of Honey and Vinegar' ‘CSICOP and the Skeptics’, originally published in the Journal of the American Society for Psychical Research, by George P.
