Psychics, Wikipedia, and Science Communication
Susan Gerbic, the founder of Guerrilla Skepticism on Wikipedia, will talk about debunking psychic mediums and the vital importance of Wikipedia as a crucial tool for science communication. A contributor to Skeptical Inquirer magazine, Gerbic is a fellow of CSI and winner of the James Randi Foundation award. She has written over 2 thousand Wikipedia articles concerning science, pseudoscience and skepticism. She leads over a hundred Wikipedia editors devoted to skepticism from all over the world in a private Facebook group called The Secret Cabal. They are always looking for more people to train for the team. Susan will explain the project as well as remind us of the importance of one of the most visited websites in the world.
