First announcement of the 6th World Skeptics Congress to be held 2012 in Berlin, Germany.
The Congress series deals with claims ranging from the paranormal and supernatural to fringe science issues and conspiration theories. Major topics at this event will be science and pseudoscience in education, addressing in particular anti-evolution claims and origin myths, as well as the psychology of risk and benefit perception, addressing alternative medicine as a major sub-topic.
