This weekend, the Ann Arbor Skeptics hosted a live Skype video conference with James Randi. They discussed skeptical activism at the grassroots, Randi's upcoming book A Magician in the Laboratory, and took questions from the audience. Randi loves reaching out to the worldwide skeptical community like this, and interfacing with enthusiastic local skeptics groups is a hugely important part of our mission here at the JREF.
While this Skype conference was all too brief, skeptics from dozens of local groups will be able to chat with Randi and friends for four whole days at The Amazing Meeting in Las Vegas July 12-15. Nothing beats meeting Randi in person, and the benefit to grassroots skeptics who attend is immense. TAM is the perfect place to share ideas, create new skeptical projects, and (best of all) have fun! To register, just click here.
