Two of the distinguished members of The Skeptic Magazine’s Editorial Advisory Board
will feature in an event from the Center for Inquiry UK on 7th November 2009. Dr Stephen Law will host the event while Dr Charles Paxton will appear as a featured speaker.
Hosted at Conway Hall, Holborn, the event will see two scientists and researchers examining the truth behind sailors’ tales of monsters from the ocean’s depths.
Dr Charles Paxton, a scientist from the University of St Andrews, is one of the country’s most qualified cryptozoologists, and he will be running both a lecture and workshop on monsters from the deep – mythical and real.
Dr Darren Naish is a researcher at The University of Portsmouth, who will talk about the ‘prehistoric survivor paradigm’ and what it means (or doesn’t mean) for ’sea monster’ sightings. A fascinating, illustrated, interactive skeptical odyssey….
As always, there should be a chance to ask questions of the speakers.
Further details about how to attend the unique event are available from The Skeptic Events or from the Center for Inquiry UK. This event is free to Skeptic Magazine subscribers, or members of CFIUK, SPES, the BHA, GLHA and New Humanist Subscribers.
