About us.

UK-Skeptics is an informal educational organization which is administered by John Jackson, Dr. Wendy Cousins and Dr. Jason Braithwaite.

Aims and Objectives:

1. We adopt the epistemological description of skepticism: as it being the pursuit of knowledge (justified belief) through rational and empirical inquiry (see: What is Skepticism?)*;
2. To promote skepticism and critical thinking skills in society by providing educational material;
3. To demonstrate, through educational lectures, conferences, and electronic and print media, how to evaluate claims and the consequences of accepting claims without question or good evidence;
4. To encourage and perform objective and impartial research in areas where it is needed;
5. To question and challenge individuals or organizations making claims for products or services that do not stand up to scrutiny and which are potentially harmful.

* NOTE: We are nothing to do with opposition, activist, or denialist groups who wrongly refer to themselves as 'skeptics' because they adopt a position of non-belief (e.g. global warming skeptics, vaccine skeptics, etc.)
