[The Seeker and The Skeptic Podcast @SeekerSkeptic]

In our latest mini ep Rebecca 'I'm not a scientist, but...' Fox answers the trickiest question she gets asked when talking about skepticism:
'is the placebo effect real?'
Her answer is bound to annoy both our seeker and skeptic listeners!

[The Seeker and The Skeptic Podcast @SeekerSkeptic]

Anywhere on the tech bro to hippie spectrum?
You've heard about entheogens, whether it's peyote, magic mushrooms or LSD.
This ep we'll share our experience with ayahuasca and all the visions and vomiting that entails.
Open up your third eye listeners, shit's about to get real.

@RichClarkePsy @threadreaderapp unroll please!

[Dr Richard Clarke @RichClarkePsy]

This is a good example of the anger I used to feel when hearing a news story like yesterdays drop in MMR uptake. Having now finished a PhD on the psychology of vaccine hesitancy, here’s a thread on few lessons I’ve learnt and why this kind of reaction is now unthinkable to me

[Brighton Skeptics @BrightonSkeptic]

We learned as much as we laughed with @supergutman at last month's Skeptics in the pub. If you get a chance to see Marlon Solomon's show Conspiracy Theory: A Lizard's Tale don't miss out.

[The Seeker and The Skeptic Podcast @SeekerSkeptic]

US ufologists have to #StormArea51 to get a glimpse at alleged alien tech but here @forestrycomm provides leaflets for a walking tour of Rendlesham Forest! (considered the UK's Roswell)
So, for our latest podcast we just had to go take a look.
