Dr Susan Blackmore is one of the world's top skeptics and
she has had a productive career fulfilling that role in the media. As a result she
was decorated with the Materialist Bravery Award in 2011, see background links
at the bottom. I did dispatch her MBA to her in the post but I never knew if
she'd received it. However, I've just found out that she has (Thanks to Sophie
the Porters' Poet for the information). Not only has she received it, but she
has formally recognized it by adding it to the research topics page on her
website, see: http://www.susanblackmore.co.uk/Research/near-death%20experiences.htm.
She said: "Award: MBA May
2011. I received in the post a
delightful hand-made badge for the Gold standard Materialist Bravery Award,
from Mr Dai Andthatsit in Dawkinshire. Apparently I'm so brave that I don't
need to believe in life after death. (My opinion has nothing to do with the
evidence of course!)" Wear it with pride, Dr Blackmore. You've earned
it!
