The SKEPTOLOGISTS needs your help!

7:13pm Today
Raise your voice! Let it be known that it’s time for a TV series that focuses on the real, the intelligent and important advances in science, critical thinking and skepticism. The Skeptologists will be pitched to major networks soon, and we want to give the programming executives a sense of what kind of support they can received if they invest in a TV series of this kind.

We have started an email campaign to have fans of the show write-in in support of this show idea and let us know why you would watch a show about critical thinking, science and skepticism! We will compile the emails and present to the executives along with our all-star cast, entertaining pilot program and solid production background to seal a great TV deal to give the Skeptics of the world a show they can stand behind, and be proud of!

Take a moment, and send a brief email to:

skeptologists{@}newrule.com

Your email will be collected and will help support the show.

Thank you very much,

-Ryan C. Johnson

Director

    Science and the Media – Can we trust TV?

    Simon Singh

    Hi All,

    We hope everyone enjoyed Andy Lewis and David Colquhoun’s two excellent presentations on quackery and the lively Q&A session last week.

    We have a 100th SitP special on the 1st of April.
    Science author and documentary maker, Simon Singh will be giving us a whistle-stop tour of science documentaries, the good, the bad and the ugly.

    After nine years it will be our 100th meeting, there will be some cake to celebrate (and Simon will be dressed in a jesters out-fit too).

    Hope to see you there…fool!

    Sid
