Skeptics - "Lifting the Lid on Pseudoscience"
Thursday 28 Aug 2014
19:10 to 21:00 
Winchester Discovery Centre, Jewery Street, Winchester
United Kingdom  

Join me at tonight's talk @ 7.30pm by the Winchester Skeptics at Winchester Discovery Centre. We will be meeting in the front coffee bar area around 7.10pm ... let me know if you need a lift.

Tonight's talk by the Winchester Skeptics is led by Michael Marshall on the subject of "Lifting the Lid - Ongoing Adventures in the World of Pseudoscience". Meet in the front cafe bar area from 7.00pm. The talks for Winchester Skeptics start at 7.30pm in the main lecture theatre and there is a £3 suggested donation towards speakers expenses at the door.

It's easy to think of pseudoscience existing in a glass case at a museum - something to be examined and critiqued from a safe distance, but not something to touch and to play with. Using examples taken from his own personal experiences in skepticism, Michael Marshall will show what happens when you begin to crack the surface of the pseudosciences that surround us - revealing the surprising, sometimes-shocking and often-comic adventures that lie beneath.
Michael Marshall is the Vice President of the Merseyside Skeptics Society and Project Director of the Good Thinking Society. He regularly speaks with proponents of pseudoscience for the Be Reasonable podcast. His work with the MSS has seen him organising international homeopathy protests and co-founding the popular QED conference. He has written for the Guardian, The Times and New Scientist.
