Welcome To ASk (Alaska Skeptics)

Hello to everyone. My name is Brad Roberson and I along with Peter Broady have decided to begin this group to further enhance the Skeptical communities of Alaska.

We will begin to meet monthly at a venue as yet to be determined for open forum discussion on topics relevant to skepticism, critical thought, matters of education, matters of faith and evaluation of claims which are testable.

We will link here in the coming days to both local and national resources within the larger Skeptical community to begin providing resources for those who are willing to ask.

The name of the group is ASk and is an acronym of Alaska Skeptics. We feel that the name is exactly right for the nature of a skeptical endeavor. Questions are what it's all about.

We hope to take this group to a national or global level of relevance and can only do so with your help. We will be looking for people who would be willing to present to our group on a number of different topics.

We would like for physicians, engineers, energy experts, magicians/illusionists, mentalists, students and teachers and anyone interested to find a welcome community in which to present their works and opinions on matters of a skeptical nature.

We hope to provide our resources to the local media to have a more circumspect presentation of newsworthy items rather than merely reporting the outrageous claims that are often made by persons of dubious intent.

We would also like to expand the educational resources available statewide for educators looking to expand the critical thinking process in their classrooms.

In short we need you. If you're a skeptic and you've been waiting for a group to form, this is it. If you have been looking for a skeptical forum in which to display your understanding, this is it.

Please check back frequently and tell everyone you know that we are here... All you have to do is ASk!
