As Oprah has proven many times over, there’s a lot of money to be made by appealing to the more gullible among female consumers. Rebecca will give an overview of the most popular brands of pseudoscience marketed specifically to women, from the Law of Attraction to magical cosmetics to the dangers of anti-vaccination myths.

Rebecca is leading a team of skeptical female activists at Skepchick.org, co-hosting the weekly podcast The Skeptics’ Guide to the Universe, producing pin-up calendars, and attending rock shows. Her pilot radio show Curiosity, Aroused was a winner of the 2007 Public Radio Talent Quest and has been aired on ten public radio stations in the US. She currently lives in Boston, Massachusetts, where she works as a copywriter in order to fund her hardcore skepticism habit. There is currently an asteroid orbiting the sun with her name on it. She does nothing in moderation and hopes it shows.
