The Non-Prophets, Episode 21.20 airing Sunday, May 11th 2022 featuring Cynthia McDonald, Dr. Abby Hafer, MD Aware and Student Doctor Ben. This week's episode covers…Well it is finally here. The Roe versus Wade deep dive we never wanted to do. Yet we do have one of the best panels for this discussion. Our conductor this week Cynthia McDonald is a social worker deep in the trenches of Chicago. Student Doctor Ben is an aspiring and talented MD. MD Awere a fully practicing MD from up north. Then you have Dr. Abby Hafer a PhD teaching prospective doctors all about anatomy and physiology! We couldn't get a better panel if we tried!Since this is a deep dive into nasty waters we only have three segments for you. First we look into History's Pivot to attack Roe v Wade. From the big hair of the 80s to today we look into how attitudes changed, but the attack kept getting worse.Then we talk about the effects of what will happen when Roe v Wade is rolled back. Does the US turn into a conservative utopia, or are even more people going to die? Only history can tell for sure.Lastly, we touch on the SCOTUS leak. How much of a deal it is and isn't. This is likely going to be with us for a while and we will keep informing you as to what is going on.Segment 1 - History's Pivot to attack Roe v WadeHow the Supreme Court went from cementing abortion rights in Roe v.

This podcast is a rebroadcast of a radio show that originally aired on March 27th, 2020 called Eco-Logic with Ken Gale and Donna Stein and their guest, biologist and author, Abby Hafer. Our word today is Coronavirus. This invisible killer has taken over our lives and in just a few months has had a profound effect on our environment. And now a word from our environment.

As a science teacher at Curry College in Massachusetts, Abby Hafer is a staunch advocate of teaching peer-reviewed, scientifically accurate content in her college classes. In an effort to protect science education in the state, Hafer recently worked with legislator Kenneth Gordon to draft a bill that adds language to existing curriculum standards that seeks to limit science instruction in Massachusetts to age-appropriate, peer-reviewed scientific fact. In addition to combating academic freedom legislation recently passed in Tennessee (2012) and Louisiana (2008), Hafer hopes this bill will also provide model legislation that protects science education, science teachers and students of science across the nation. Hafer joins Lab Out Loud this week to discuss the bill and its potential impact, while describing how she worked with her legislator to impact science education through politics.

Her scientific career includes a doctorate in zoology from Oxford University and teaching human anatomy and physiology at Curry College.

This week on Point of Inquiry, Kavin Senapthy speaks to Jen Gunter and Abby Hafer (recorded during CSICon 2018). Jen chats about how she combats misinformation from Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop and the settlement the company had to pay for fraudulent health claims linked to their magical Jade Eggs. She also points us to theGoopJadeEgg best resources for accurate, evidence-based information on women’s reproductive health and birth control. American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists World Health Organization Planned Parenthood National Library of Medicine U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Kavin and Abby recount their experiences at California Freethought Day, talk about the Tetrahymena thermophila microbe, and and how the Pulse nightclub mass shooting and various bathroom bills around the US led to her CSICon 2018 gender binary talk, which you can watch here.

Have you ever asked yourself why humans have an appendix that will sometimes explode and kill us? Why do men's testicles hang outside the body where theyre arguably awkward and vulnerable? And if there is an Intelligent Designer, who does it like better anyway—us or squid? These and other related questions are addressed in the book The Not-So-Intelligent Designer: Why Evolution Explains the Human Body and Intelligent Design Does Not (Cascade Books, 2015), in which Abby Hafer argues that the human body has many faulty design features that would never have been the choice of an intelligent creator. She also points out that there are other animals that got better body parts, which makes the Designer look a bit strange. She discusses the history and politics of Intelligent Design and creationism; reveals animals that shouldn't exist according to Intelligent Design; and disposes of the idea of irreducible complexity. If you have a chance to get a copy of her book, you'll find that her points are illustrated with pictures, wit, and erudition. Hafer has a doctorate in zoology from Oxford University, and teaches human anatomy and physiology at Curry College. She's also a member of the Humanist Society and a contributor to the Humanist Magazine and the American Humanist Association. Her work debunking Intelligent Design/Creationism includes frequent humorous public lectures and she has been interviewed on NPR, WBAI and other radio outlets and television shows. You can see more of her on YouTube discussing Animals that Shouldn't Exist, According to Intelligent Design, UnIntelligent Design, and more.

Special guest is Abby Hafer. Her book is "The Not-So-Intelligent Designer: Why Evolution Explains the Human Body and Design Does Not".

This week we celebrate the birthday of Charles Darwin and the 90th birthday poet Philip Appleman (a Darwin scholar). Annie Laurie interviews Dan about his best-selling new book, GOD: The Most Unpleasant Character in All Fiction (Foreword by Richard Dawkins). Then Dr. Abby Hafer champions Darwin’s ideas by discussing her delightful new book, The Not-So-Intelligent Designer: Why Evolution Explains the Human Body and Intelligent Design Does Not.

In this episode, Bo Bennett speaks with Dr. Abby Hafer live, in studio, about her new book, "The Not-So-Intelligent Designer: Why Evolution Explains the Human Body and Intelligent Design Does Not." Dr. Hafer is a speaker, writer, and humorist who particularly loves taking about Intelligent Design & Creationism, the politics surrounding them, and science denialism in general. A few years ago she realized that Intelligent Design is a political pressure group, not a scientific issue. With this figured out, she realized that what we need are political-style arguments in defense of evolution. Her presentations contain bulletproof science, and she uses humor to puncture bad arguments. Crucial questions are raised, such as, “Why do men's testicles have such a bad location?” and, “Who does God like better, us—or squid?” She finds that once she mentions testicles, everybody pays attention. Dr. Hafer has given talks at the American Humanist Association's Annual Conferences in 2009 and 2011, and at the American Atheists' 50th Anniversary Conference in 2013. She has a doctorate in zoology from Oxford University, and teaches human anatomy and physiology at Curry College in Milton, MA.
