As some of my readers may know, I will be speaking at the upcoming SkepTech conference here in Minnesota. Along with that, I am one of the conference organizers. This conference has been my baby for almost two years.
I have been working on this conference for as long as this cute, gender non-specific child has been alive!
My first real victory in planning this conference was when I convinced Zach Weinersmith of Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal to speak.
When he agreed, I was almost in tears of joy.
But recently, something amazing has happened. Tim Farley, the creator of Whats The Harm, asked to speak also. Now, as much as I love secularism, my strongest passion has always been for skepticism. One of the websites that I constantly and consistently use to show people why they shouldn't promote altmed, or pseudo-science is Whats The Harm. If you have never been on this site, it has a collection of more than 600,000 deaths caused by lack of skepticism and critical thinking. While emotional appeal shouldn't make your argument for you, when you have a list of deaths caused by homeopathy, it makes your case a lot stronger! The fact that Tim is going to be speaking makes me SO happy!
SkepTech was always going to be amazing, and with Zach, it became epic.... But with the addition of Tim, we somehow got even better!
SkepTech, coming this April in Minneapolis!
As always, if you have anything to add to the conversation, just comment below!
