Looking Forward to our first talk of 2020 tonight, with Dr Stephen Dewitt, at our new venue The Western (7:30pm). See you all there!

In our latest mini ep Rebecca 'I'm not a scientist, but...' Fox answers the trickiest question she gets asked when talking about skepticism: 'is the placebo effect real?' Her answer is bound to annoy both our seeker and skeptic listeners!

Anywhere on the tech bro to hippie spectrum? You've heard about entheogens, whether it's peyote, magic mushrooms or LSD. This ep we'll share our experience with ayahuasca and all the visions and vomiting that entails. Open up your third eye listeners, shit's about to get real.

@RichClarkePsy @threadreaderapp unroll please!

This is a good example of the anger I used to feel when hearing a news story like yesterdays drop in MMR uptake. Having now finished a PhD on the psychology of vaccine hesitancy, here’s a thread on few lessons I’ve learnt and why this kind of reaction is now unthinkable to me

We learned as much as we laughed with @supergutman at last month's Skeptics in the pub. If you get a chance to see Marlon Solomon's show Conspiracy Theory: A Lizard's Tale don't miss out.

US ufologists have to #StormArea51 to get a glimpse at alleged alien tech but here @forestrycomm provides leaflets for a walking tour of Rendlesham Forest! (considered the UK's Roswell) So, for our latest podcast we just had to go take a look. seekerandskeptic.com/rendlesham/

Remember everyone we are at the Walrus tonight to see @supergutman talk conspiracies and lizard men.

Edinburgh warm-up show in Brighton this Thursday 25th, 7:30pm The Walrus, 10 Ship Street, Brighton, BN1 1AD £3 entry, going to @BrightonSkeptic Optional donation for the performer PS: The performer is me and I'm skint.

We're really looking forward to this month's Skeptics in the Pub with the hilarious Martin Solomon talking about his journey through the conspiracy theory underworld. Thurs 25th July 7:30 at the Walrus, no shapeshifting lizards allowed. brightonskeptics.com/skeptics-in-th…
