Bad Statistics In The Wild

A few weeks ago, I went to a book salon run by the Chicago Skeptics. The book was How To Lie With Statistics.

Just today, I saw an article on Media Matters titled Another Whopper From Fox’s Graphics Department. It points out a few of the fallacies that are also in the book.

I added #skepchicamp link to Bitly

I added a bitly link to the Skepchicamp hashtag on twitter here. Now you can see who is putting #skepchicamp in their tweets.

I got my ticket, and the big day is March 6.

So far it is mostly me, which I am a bit surprised by.
