Hi folks,
Just wanted to make an introduction before I make some proper posts (mostly regarding the 'natural' health nonsense some of my less rational acquaintances keep posting on Facebook).
I hope I'm going to have as much fun here as I think I am, sometimes it gets frustrating being the lone voice of reason in a maelstrom of crackpots and conspiracy theorists.
I have a degree in chemistry and a well-rounded science background and have just started my trainee year as a secondary school science teacher. Part of my motivation for choosing this career was exactly the kind of thing that you guys here are trying to explain to people. Stories and anecdotes and emotional appeals just aren't good enough for choosing what to believe.
I hope, in my own small way that I will be able to help at least a few individuals to end up not as stupid and gullible as they otherwise might and I hope that I can contribute to some of the discussions ongoing on this forum.
Cheers!
