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
