Skeptic: Promoting Science and Critical Thinking

Meet the Creators

We are grateful to the many people who contribute advice and support to Junior Skeptic. In addition, these three people create most of the content on a day-to-day basis:

Editor, Daniel Loxton

Daniel writes and illustrates Junior Skeptic. He also tackles various projects for the Skeptics Society and other clients in the science communication field.

Before taking over Junior Skeptic, Daniel worked for ten years as a professional shepherd. Most of his shepherding work took place in the wilderness along the British Columbia side of the Alaska Panhandle.

Co-publisher, Pat Linse

Pat is the Co-publisher and Art Director of Skeptic magazine. She is the creator of Junior Skeptic, and wrote many of the early issues. She remains its Editor in Chief.

Contributing Illustrator, Jim W. W. Smith

Jim is an illustrator based in Victoria, B.C., Canada. He regularly contributes illustrations to Junior Skeptic, working closely with Daniel.

Jim’s specialties are computer generated (CG) imagery and cartoons. Jim creates many of the 3D models featured in Junior Skeptic’s realistic CG scenes, which are then textured and composited into complete scenes by Daniel. Most of the cartoons in Junior Skeptic are collaborations, featuring Jim’s drawing and Daniel’s digital painting.
