Belfast Skeptics present Michael Marshall - Project Director of the Good Thinking Society and Vice President of Merseyside Skeptics. He regularly speaks with proponents of pseudoscience for the Be Reasonable podcast. He was co-founder of the popular QED conference, and has written for the Guardian, The Times and New Statesman.
It’s easy to think of pseudoscience existing in a glass case at a museum – something to be examined and critiqued from a safe distance, but not something to touch and to play with. Using examples taken from his own personal experiences in skepticism, Michael Marshall will show what happens when you begin to crack the surface of pseudoscience – revealing the surprising, sometimes shocking and often-comic adventures that lie beneath.
