This is Part 4 of Dr. Phil Plait's lecture at the Gnomedex 9.0 conference in Seattle in August 2009. He talks about why doomsayers will never die out, how you can never convince the hard-liners and reveals the skeptic mating-call.
After earning his doctorate in astronomy at the University of Virginia, Dr. Plait worked as a NASA contractor at the Goddard Space Flight Center, working with the Hubble Space Telescope. He began a career in public outreach and education with the 'Bad Astronomy' website and blog, debunking bad science and popular misconceptions. The book Bad Astronomy was released in 2002, to be followed in 2008 by Death From The Skies! For more info, visit: http://samaralectures.com/pplait.html
