Rebecca Watson

Rebecca Watson is a skeptic and a feminist activist. Together with several other writers, Watson runs the website Skepchick, which promotes skepticism and atheism among women, LGBTers, and teens (all groups who have historically been reluctant to come out as atheists, in part due to the stereotype that atheism is for angry men over thirty). She talks about all of these topics on her YouTube channel. She also co-hosted Skeptics Guide to the Universe, a skeptical podcast, until December 2014, when she departed due to burnout and a desire to focus more on Skepchick, Patreon, and her Quiz-o-Tron 9000 live panel show.

She has an asteroid named after her, 153289 Rebeccawatson.
