Palmerston North Skeptics in the Pub

Welcome to the Palmerston North Skeptics in the Pub meetup group. This group is part of a larger, socially orientated group of skeptics. Details at http://skepticsinthepub.net.nz/

We meet every first Thursday of the Month, in honour of the god Thor, at the Mao Bar on George Street in Palmerston North. Kickoff is at 7pm, bring along something that you would like to talk about, an open mind and a sense of humour.  Two of the above would be fine.

"A skeptic is one who prefers beliefs and conclusions that are reliable and valid to ones that are comforting or convenient, and therefore rigorously and openly applies the methods of science and reason to all empirical claims, especially their own. A skeptic provisionally proportions acceptance of any claim to valid logic and a fair and thorough assessment of available evidence, and studies the pitfalls of human reason and the mechanisms of deception so as to avoid being deceived by others or themselves. Skepticism values method over any particular conclusion." - Dr. Steven Novella of The New England Skeptics and The Skeptics Guide to the Universe podcast.
