Susan Gerbic, renowned American skeptic, is returning to Melbourne to speak at Skepticon 2019.
She is also the founder and leader of Guerrilla Skepticism on Wikipedia, a group that sets out to improve skeptical content on Wikipedia. The group includes more than 120 editors from around the world including Australia.
Susan has a track record of strong skeptical activism. A recent New York Times article outlines her current focus, which is working to expose people claiming to be clairvoyant mediums. She has organised and participated in stings that expose how so-called psychics source their information. She has worked to provide information regarding reading techniques and has organised protests, giving out leaflets that outline failed psychic predictions.
Susan lives in California and has retired from her work as a professional photographer.
Susan joins the Skeptics’ Guide to the Universe as a key presenter at this year’s event, along with many speakers from the Australian skeptical community.
Skepticon 2019 will be held in Melbourne 6-8 December. Full details are available on the convention website.
