There’s just 36 hours until the start of Vancouver’s third Skepticamp – the unconference for skepticism and critical thinking.
I’ve heard over 90 people have registered to attend already, with space for 150. The speakers list has also been announced:
Fred Bremmer – A demonstration of Charpentier’s Illusion
Ian Bushfield – 13.7 billion years in 90 seconds (or The Evidence of the Big Bang)
Dr. Steve Wiseman – No Pleasure Cruise: The Troubled Relationship between Psychiatry and the Church of Scientology
Brian Lynchehaun – Edge Contrast and You
Ginger Switzer – Secrets of the Language Code
Greg Bole – Defending Darwin
Lars Martin – Introduction to the Theory of Relativity
Shannon Rupp – Rational Journalism
Matthew Linsdell – Personal Training and Woo
Radio Freethinker – Radio Freethinker
Jaymie Matthews – Who Needs Paranormal?
James Bernath – Private programs for "going into space".
Jacob Vohs – Myths about Child Abuse
Gerry Armstrong – Scientology
Yves van Gennip – The Role of Mathematics in Science and Skepticism
Fred Bremmer – Charpentier’s Illusion
The entire conference is going to be filmed, so hopefully we’ll have YouTube feeds of everyone’s presentations. At very least I’ll try to adapt my talk for the internet at some point, which hopes to give a basis for which to defend the big bang theory in an elevator speech.
Nice hat today!
I’m not wearing a hat today…
