Skeptical Inquirer Magazine 7.2.10

Skeptical Inquirer is the official journal of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry. It is a bimonthly publication that provides critical scientific evaluations of paranormal and fringe-science claims, as well as informed discussion on relevant issues.

According to Editor Kendrick Frazier, Skeptical Inquirer serves as a bridge between scientific fields, combining aspects of a semi-popular magazine and a scientific journal. It has been praised as a "spokesman for rationality," characterized as serious yet highly readable, witty and informative, and a steady buoy in the sea of irrationality. The journal boasts contributions from esteemed scholars and investigators such as Isaac Asimov, Martin Gardner, Carl Sagan, Stephen Jay Gould, Richard Dawkins, and many others.

In addition to in-depth feature articles, special reports, news and commentaries, book reviews, and investigations on a wide range of topics, Skeptical Inquirer also features regular columns from renowned writers. These include Joe Nickell's "Investigative Files," Massimo Polidoro's "Notes on a Strange World," Massimo Pigluicci's "Thinking About Science," Robert Sheaffer's "Psychic Vibrations," and reader-driven content by SI managing editor Benjamin Radford in "The Skeptical Inquiree."
