Welcome

 

The Ottawa Skeptics run a monthly Skeptics in the Pub meeting (in the spirit of Café Scientifique) which takes place on the second Sunday of each month. Although it is held in a pub, our events are family friendly. Children and infants are welcome!


  • Past topics have included:

    ·         Dr. Leslie Sage of Nature on why astronomy matters

    ·         Alternative Fuels: How to Drive to the Grocery Store Without Killing Everyone On The Planet

    ·         The science of names

    ·         Intravenous Treatment for Multiple Ailments: Panacea or Fleecing of the Gullible

    ·         Dr Yoni Freedhoff: weight loss myths

    ·         Debunking common climate change denial myths

    ·         Justin Trottier: "The New Age Movement & Science: A Love-Hate Relationship"

    ·         The likelihood of alien life evolving on other planets

    ·         Why evolution is true

    ·         Homeopathy: the dilution delusion


In addition to the monthly talks, we hold regular Drinking Skeptically social events, a Science-Based Pub Quiz every three months or more, an annual Darwin Day celebration and in 2011, we staged a mass homeopathic overdose on Parliament Hill. There were no fatalities.
