Great news - PZ Myers to write for The Guardian

Top UK newspaper The Guardian started a new science column last Monday and I have just learned that "leading American evolutionary biologist" PZ Myers is to be a monthly contributor. If you are a scientist, a sceptic or an atheist (or all three) and you are not following Myers' blog Pharyngula then you are missing out big time. He can be quite funny too.


The Guardian column will also feature:

• Simon Singh - Who seems to have kicked the ball rolling. I remember his 5 Numbers radio shorts which are still on the BBC website, go listen.


• Chris French - With whom I agree about recent wind turbine damage. He's also editor of The Skeptic.


• and Andy Miah - who's name rings a bell but just now I can't remember why. I'm looking forward to finding out though.

A good crowd to counter the vomit that the media normally chucks our way.

Combining this with the existing Bad Science column from Ben Goldacre makes a winner with me.
