Florida Citizens for Science president Jonathan Smith and I enjoyed talking with the very lively and engaged crowd at Skepticamp 2014 in Tampa today. I took them on a brief time travel tour, bouncing from events in the 1920s to events in the present. I wanted to emphasize how anti-evolution activists, groups and legislation from then and now are amazing alike. We then tackled the question of whether there is any way to break this seemingly never ending cycle of anti-evolution activism. Jonathan talked about how evolution plays a significant role in your everyday life, from man’s best friend to what you eat. Thank you very much to the event organizers for having us!<\/p>\n
