On a serious note, when people are swept away by stories like the Mayan Calendar, there is a dire need for media hype to be tempered by skepticism and rational thought. This work needs your support. Over the past week the Skeptics Society has conducted a flurry of national interviews to bring a sensible viewpoint to the public.
This email is a call to action: help us continue to make the world a more rational place and defend the role of science in society.
