Summary

The postscript discusses resources related to scientific skepticism. The Committee for Skeptical Inquiry (CSI) is suggested as a fruitful place to begin. Annual conferences include the CSI conference (CSICon) and the Northeast Conferences on Science and Skepticism (NECSS). The work of Scott O. Lilienfeld was honored. His skeptical approach to psychology substantially increased how much students, professors, and clinicians applied critical thinking skills to the field of psychology. The postscript closes by describing an organization called Guerilla Skepticism on Wikipedia (GSoW).
