You can be fooled! We all can. Even expert, reliable witnesses. Are Air Force pilots great #UFO witnesses? Retired pilot (and SKEPTIC!) @LarianLeQuella told us about his own sighting at our most recent SkeptiCamp. #SkepComm#ufotwitter#UAP#scicomm https://t.co/yVMGPJnWK8
You know what they say about those who don't learn from history. At our most recent SkeptiCamp, @SwordGerald explained how the #QAnonCult is really just the Satanic Panic, dressed up for the 21st century. #SkepComm#ConspiracyTheory#misinformation https://t.co/qdXK8Ozd8U
#NYC Skeptics tackles the big issues. At our most recent SkeptiCamp, Spiro Condos attempted to settle the great debate of our time -- what's better, Greek or Italian food? What does that mean? Can it be measured? #SkepComm https://t.co/D4GgUMq4h5

Stay inside and get back to basics with the first in a new series: "@mpigliucci Presents." What *IS* scientific skepticism, and why did Carl Sagan say its practice carries a burden? #SkepComm#scicomm#Philosophy#science@SkeptInquirer https://t.co/qAO9eI7CUB
