Michael Shermer Comes To MSU — Part II

Tonight's the night! I'm off to see Michael Shermer at Michigan State University this evening. There are still tickets available for those who show up at the door, so please don't be shy and make the trip! It will be well worth it. A short description of the lecture:

Ever wonder why people believe in UFOs and alien abductions, mind-reading and psychics who talk to the dead, reincarnation and life after death, out-of-body and near-death experiences, urban legends and satanic panics, not to mention Intelligent Design creationism and the pernicious myth that the Holocaust never happened? Dr. Michael Shermer, the Founding Publisher of Skeptic magazine and a monthly columnist for Scientific American, is a genuine ghost-buster, a relentless crusader against junk science, bad science, voodoo science, pathological science, pseudoscience, and plain old nonsense. Based on his bestselling book, Why People Believe Weird Things, Dr. Shermer’s lecture is filled with humor, insight, magic, illusions, and personal anecdotes—a highly entertaining wake-up call that has become a wildly popular presentation at hundreds of college campuses.

Hope to see you there.
