A Survey of Skeptical Web Sites
Australian Skeptics is a loose confederation of groups across Australia that investigate paranormal and pseudo-scientific claims from a responsible scientific viewpoint. Most people are familiar with the more popular subjects that we investigate such as astrology, fortune telling, UFOs and crop circles; But did you know that we also investigate topics like fundamentalism, Feng Shui, subluxations and vitamin supplements? Some topics that we investigate can be found at the page where we list what we are sceptical of. Test your sceptical knowledge and see how many of the topics on the list are familiar to you. If you’ve never heard of the Australian Skeptics before then you should also take time to read our aims. http://www.skeptics.com.au/

After ten years working on Hubble Space Telescope and six more working on astronomy education, he struck out on his own as a writer. He has written two books, dozens of magazine articles, and 12 bazillion blog articles. He is a skeptic, and fights misuses of science as well as praising the wonder of real science. http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/

The Committee for Skeptical Inquiry promotes science and scientific inquiry, critical thinking, science education, and the use of reason in examining important issues. It encourages the critical investigation of controversial or extraordinary claims from a responsible, scientific point of view and disseminates factual information about the results of such inquiries to the scientific community, the media, and the public. http://www.csicop.org/
