“Hanging out at the Café: Cultures of Skepticism and Belief,” my latest Behavior and Belief column for Skeptical Inquirer has just been published. After spending a wonderful vacation in a hip area of southern California, I share some thoughts about LOHAS, Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability, a marketing approach that encourages a number of anti-scientific beliefs.

I also make a humble proposal to build a culture of scientific thinking by establishing a chain of science-friendly coffee shops.

Happy Labor Day Weekend!
