Hey @CBSNews - how about talking to a scientist? You are platforming bunk by discussing an issue discounted by the vast consensus of scientists and not mentioning all the past failures. #EpicFailure Largest Loch Ness Monster hunt in 50 years cbsnews.com/video/scotland-h… via

As you've probably already figured out, we're not planning a SkeptiCal Conference for 2023. We simply didn't have the volunteer commitment to pull it off this year at the high-quality level that we expect. If you'd like a conference in 2024, please contact us about volunteering.
