Quote of the Week

We (skeptics) want to teach kids that through science the true wonder and beauty of nature can be revealed. But it's vital they learn how we all can be fooled & tricked. That's where a skeptical approach comes in. Teaching kids not to always believe everything they're told & teaching them how to put claims to the test.
