What we’re about
A group for science enthusiasts, critical thinkers, and skeptics in Santa Cruz County, California and beyond.
We socialize, promote science and critical thinking in our community, host talks, and more.
Skepticism, also spelled scepticism, is a questioning attitude or doubt toward knowledge claims that are seen as mere belief or dogma.
Our purpose is to help nonbelievers find each other and develop friendships. We will not be charging dues.
You can now buy SCC Skeptics logo swag (T-shirts, mugs, etc.) with a portion of sales going to support the group: https://www.teepublic.com/user/santa-cruz-county-skeptics

What is the SkeptiCal Conference?
SkeptiCal is a conference for curious, science-loving people to learn about science, scientific skepticism, and critical thinking in an informal setting, at an affordable cost.
This is the Bay Area Skeptics annual conference, first time in person since before the lockdown. This will have some amazing speakers, as well as a great time to socialize, network and have a great time. I will probably be driving up the night before to attend an in-person Skeptics In The Pub event, details to be reveled later.
Please

SkeptiCal Conference is a great opportunity to hear accomplished and entertaining scientists and other critical thinkers speak about fascinating topics in an informal setting. Our conferences have considered a range of topics including GMOs, science denialism, climate change, science literacy, evolution, medical pseudoscience, extraterrestrials, astronomy, and many others. At previous SkeptiCal meetings we have hosted local scientists from UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UC Santa Cruz, several California State Universities, Stanford, NASA, Lawrence Livermore Laboratories, and many other notable local institutions. For our virtual conferences, we are not restricted to local talent, and have chosen speakers both nationally and internationally.
