Skeptic: Promoting Science and Critical Thinking

Get Junior Skeptic

Bound into every issue of Skeptic, Junior Skeptic magazine is an engagingly illustrated science and critical thinking publication for younger readers.

Junior Skeptic is our flagship educational periodical, written for both the young and the young at heart. In each issue, readers are invited to consider the background, concepts, and arguments surrounding a major paranormal claim (such as the Bermuda Triangle, or Bigfoot). Junior Skeptic explores the best evidence in support of these claims, but also exposes where thinking went wrong — and how. Accessible but not simplistic, Junior Skeptic has often gone toe to toe with the bigshots of the paranormal world.

With Junior Skeptic, young readers are finally able to consider these controversies with all the facts in front of them. Suitable as a teachers’ aid, Junior Skeptic is also wildly popular among adults seeking answers — simple, bottom-line, and jargon-free.
