Skeptic Check, Beast Of
Zombies, aliens, Bigfoot, oh my!! We've covered - or rather uncovered - them all and more on Skeptic Check, our monthly look of critical thinking. And now we've collected enough strange encounters to assemble a sordid retrospective of sorts.
Sharpen your brain, it's Skeptic Check, Beast Of. But don't take our word for it!
Guests:
Phil Plait - Skeptic and keeper of Discover Magazine’s blog, badastronomy.com
Bruce Hood - Cognitive scientist at the University of Bristol in the U.K. and author of The Science of Superstition: How the Developing Brain Creates Supernatural Beliefs
Susan Jacoby - Author of The Age of American Unreason
Steve Silberman - Contributing editor, Wired Magazine, author of “The Placebo Problem” in the September 2009 issue
Mary Pope-Handy - Estate Agent, Silicon Valley and keeper of the website hauntedrealestate.com
Jim Underdown - Executive Director, Center for Inquiry, West – Los Angeles
Paul Offit - Pediatrician, Chief of Infectious Diseases at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and author of Autism’s False Prophets: Bad Science, Risky Medicine, and the Search for a Cure
Stephen Schneider - Climate scientist, Stanford University
