The old Respectful Insolence is dead. Long live the new Respectful Insolence!
What the title says. The old ScienceBlogs version of Respectful Insolence is dead. (Well, not quite, but it soon will be.) This new independent version of Respectful Insolence now rises in its place.

Turning out the lights and moving on: Goodbye, old ScienceBlogs blog, hello new blog
Today is the last day that ScienceBlogs will exist. Sometime today the site will go into read-only mode. A few days later, it will disappear completely from the Internet.

The future is here:respectfulinsolence.comSome work remains to be done with the site, and I am not ready to produce new posts for it yet while these odds and ends remain to be taken care of. Due to a confluence of events in addition to still having to tweak the blog to my satisfaction, I a...

A quick update on the migration to a new domain
Here ' s a brief update on the move,announced last week.Things are progressing, and most of my old material has been transferred to the new blog, which is located atrespectfulinsolence.com. Of course, there are still some things to tweak and fix, which is why, given how insanely busy this week is going to be, given my impending trip to CSICon on Thursday afternoon, I ' ve decided to hold off on writing new material for the new blog until sometime next week, probably November 1 or 2. I ' m just gratified that there are so many of you who are still checking back and commenting. Please be patient.This will officially mark the...

The future home of Respectful Insolence …
…is right here. Right now, Orac is busily transferring content from the old blog to this shiny new location. Regular readers can probably tell, given that as of today there is currently nowhere near twelve years worth of material here. When I’m ready to turn turn out the lights at the old blog completely and make this the new official home of that Respectful (and not-so-Respectful) Insolence that only Orac can lay down, I’ll post an announcement both here and at the old blog. I expect that it will be several days, if not a couple of weeks, before that […]

A change is gonna come. Respectful Insolence is moving.
Here is an important announcement about the future of this blog. Read it, learn it, love it. Orac is going somewhere, but he's not going anywhere. Yes, RI is moving and changing but staying mostly the same. (Source: Respectful Insolence)

A change is gonna come. Respectful Insolence is moving.
Well,QEDCon is over, and thisbox of blinky lights is on its way back across the pond to its home in the US, having had an excellent time imbibing skepticism from its (mostly) British and European partners in skepticism.Before I left, I made a somewhat cryptic remark about " major changes " to this blog coming up. Well, thecat ' s out of the bag, so to speak. Basically, Scienceblogs is shutting down at the end of the month. I still remain grateful for the opportunity Scienceblogs offered me. I wouldn ' t be as prominent as I am now without it. However, unfortunately, Scienceblogs has barely existed as an entity for a few ye...

And the box of blinky lights has arrived in Manchester for QEDCon
As you probably noticed, I didn’t manage a post yesterday. Nor did I manage one today, other than this. That’s because I was busy preparing for QEDCon, where I will be on a panel and giving a talk, and, of course, putting together my talk. As I write this, I’m horrendously jet lagged; so I probably couldn’t write much that’s coherent anyway. Consequently, there likely won’t be any new posts until next week. I will take a moment, however, to mention that there will be significant changes to this blog in the near future. It’s a process that will likely […]

On the " integration " of quackery into the medical school curriculum
Ever since the $200 million gift by Susan and Henry Samueli to UC-Irvine, I've been thinking about the "integration" of quackery into medicine through integrative medicine. The way advocates of quackademic medicine are going to make this "integration" really happen is to start with the medical schools.

On the "integration" of quackery into the medical school curriculum
QEDCon is fast approaching (indeed, I can't believe I have to leave for Manchester tomorrow night), and because my talk there will be about the phenomenon of "integrative medicine," I've been thinking a lot about it. As I put together my slides, I can't help but see my talk evolving to encompass both "integrative" medicine and what I like to refer to as quackademic medicine, but that's not surprising. The two phenomenon are related, and it's hard to determine which has a more pernicious effect on science in medicine.One aspect of quackademic medicine that I probably don't write about as much as I should is the "integration...
