New "Skeptical Inquirer" program debuts on Discovery Science Channel

Amherst, NY (April 9, 2001) -- The new "Skeptical Inquirer" series will
debut on the Discovery Science Channel (http://science.discovery.com/) in
two weeks. This series, produced in cooperation with Skeptical Inquirer, is
hosted by William B. Davis of "X-Files" fame and consists of ten 3-minute
"interstitial" programs on paranormal and pseudoscience topics. The first
five scheduled to appear will cover acupuncture, astrology, hauntings,
homeopathy, and magnet therapy.

Each program opens and closes with "Skeptical Inquirer" magazine logo and
features CSICOP fellows such as Paul Kurtz, Joe Nickell and Jim Alcock, in
addition to "Voodoo Science" author and pseudoscience watchdog Robert Park.
These programs will appear frequently throughout the daily schedule of the
Science Channel, so, needless to say, they will serve as excellent,
continuous PR for Skeptical Inquirer and CSICOP tha reaches a highly
receptive audience.

Our cooperation with the Science Channel on this exciting project also
furthers our commitment to reach children interested in science, which we
began the foundations for with CSICOP's Science Kit and the Young Skeptics
web site. Pro-science programs for and about children, such as "Discovery
Young Scientist Challenge 2000," will be premiering later this month on the
Science Channel: we are extremely eager to get our skeptical message out to
the next generation who will carry science literacy and skepticism through
the 21st century.
