Skeptic: Extraordinary Claims, Revolutionary Ideas, and the Promotion of Science
Annual Conference
Every year the Skeptics Society hosts a conference which sees skeptics from all across North America and Europe converge for lively conversation, debate, and collaboration. Each conference centers around a specific theme, which allows us to cultivate an expert and informative panel of guest speakers.
The Skeptics Society 2006 Conference was held during the first weekend of June 2–4, 2006, at Caltech on the theme of ‘The Environmental Wars: The Science Behind the Politics.’ It featured Jonathan Adler, Ronald Bailey, Dr. David Baltimore, Dr. Gregory Benford, Dr. Brian Fagan, Dr. David Goodstein, Dr. Paul MacCready, Chris Mooney, Dr. Donald Prothero, Dr. Michael Shermer, special guests John Stossel and Michael Crichton.
