In London, a group of people have been gathering once a month for the past nine years to talk skeptically about pseudoscience, the paranormal, alternative medicine, etc. They are appropriately called Skeptics in the Pub (judging from their list of recent speakers, they seem to be duly skeptical. To learn more, check out this article from Nature Network London) and it’s gone international, with similar events happening in Sydney, Vancouver, and now—Boston!
Boston Skeptics is hosting its first event March 24. They describe themselves as: a group of critical thinkers who get together to talk, eat, drink, and be skeptical about things like homeopathy, creationism, psychics, aliens, alternative medicine, conspiracy theories, and whatever else catches our attention.
