Dear Friend, 

It's hard to believe that almost a whole year has passed since the first CSICon Conference was held in New Orleans.  

From time to time I find myself visiting the CSICon conference Facebook page to enjoy some of the memories and relive some of the special moments.    

Let me invite you to click on this link and check out some of the photos we’ve posted.

But more than this, I’d like to invite you to come visit us again at CSICon – this time in Nashville, TN,  October 25–28,  for CSICon 2012 - The Conference Dedicated to Science and Skeptical Inquiry. 

Please check out the official conference website at CSIConference.org.

There couldn't be a better time for an event like this. Popular culture, academia, and even the halls of government seem swarmed with alternative medicine hucksters, extraterrestrial conspiracies, psychic scam artists, and science-deniers who infuriatingly refer to themselves as “skeptics.” It’s time to reconnect with old friends, and make a few new ones. It’s time for the real skeptics to get together and make a little noise of their own. And where better to do that than in Music City itself? 

That’s right. It’s time to get empirical.  

I hope to see you in Nashville!! 

Barry Karr
Executive Director, CSI & Skeptical Inquirer
