Several new posts in the last few weeks, so have a look!

My latest blog essay is up: The Ethics of the Placebo Effect. Is it all right to deceive people if it makes them feel better? Let me know what you think.

New Blog Entry-Book Review

I've just added a post to The SkeptVet Blog, a review of the Book Trick or Treatment: The Undeniable Facts About Alternative Medicine. This book is one of the most informative and accessible assessments of popular CAM approaches out there. I recommend it highly!
