CNY Skeptics
Join us for our September 2009 meeting as we welcome Jeff Wagg from the James Randi Educational Foundation.
Skepticism is the intersection of science and a peculiar brand of psychology known as ‘Conjuring.’ Only by understanding how we are fooled can we truly understand how to conduct experiments on individuals who cla...im to have supernatural powers. Learn how some simple tricks can fool the smartest people, how a a couple of teenagers fooled rooms full of scientists, and why smart people are the easiest to fool.
Jeff Wagg is a (mostly) life-long skeptic and currently serves as Communications and Outreach Manager of the James Randi Educational Foundation. With a broad experience in both science and the humanities, Jeff brings an unusual and refreshing perspective to the endeavors of skepticism, epistemology, and the human experience. He has studied conjuring with the likes of Jamy Ian Swiss and James Randi, and though he is not a magician himself, he sees the need for more magic in the world. Jeff currently resides in Richmond, VT, when he’s not on one of his frequent road trips.

CNY Skeptics is meeting on Wednesday to learn about homeopathy.
CNY Skeptics
Speaker: Mahlon Wagner, Ph.D.
Business meeting at 6:30
Program at 7:00
Homeopathy is a system of alternative medicine that was introduced in the early nineteenth century by a German physician,
Samuel Christian Hahnemann, who was dissatisfied with contemporary medical treatments.
Today homeopathy is found in almost every cou...ntry. In Europe 40% of French physicians use homeopathy; 40% of Dutch;
37% of British and 20% of German physicians use homeopathy. It is also becoming more and more popular in the United States.
Supporters of homeopathy include the British royal family, Johann Wolfgang Goethe, Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Mark Twain, O. J. Simpson, Yehudi Menuhin, and Angela Lansbury.
However, serious questions exist as to whether homeopathy is effective in treating any diseases or ailments.
Dr. Mahlon Wagner has lectured and written extensively on various alternative health treatments including chiropractic, homeopathy and therapeutic touch. Dr. Wagner is a Professor Emeritus from the State University of New York at Oswego.
