[escepticos] Mensaje del CSICOP

[David de Cos <ddecos@...>]

Hola,

el otro día recibí un mail de Barry Karr (CSICOP) agradeciéndome mi 
suscripción a PENSAR y preguntándome cómo había sabido de la revista (me 
prometió una de las famosas pegatinas si respondía :-)). Le escribí 
brevemente acerca de esta lista, le dije que el editor Alejandro Borgo estaba 
en ella, que muchos de los miembros nos hemos suscrito a la revista, y que si 
quería postear aquí cualquier tipo de comunicado, yo lo podía mandar por él. 
Bueno, pues me ha pedido que pegue el siguente mensaje de Alejandro Borgo (es 
una situación un poco absurda, porque Alejandro es miembro de esta lista y 
además el texto está en inglés, pero bueno, por mí que no quede...):

Pensar - Latin American Magazine For Science and Reason

The first issue of Pensar, quarterly magazine in Spanish under CSICOP 
auspice, is now available. This is the first international magazine of its 
kind dedicated to the Spanish speaking world, in which several specialists 
from different countries participate, dealing with  analysis and the 
investigation of claims of the paranormal, including subjects related to 
magical beliefs and the supernatural.
Its aim will be the divulgation of scientific philosophy and freethinking, 
investigating the so called pseudosciences and any other disciplines claiming 
scientific status, and whose presumed experts attempt to validate as "genuine 
knowledge": parapsychology, alternative medicine and psychology, UFOs, life 
after life, astrology, communication with the dead, "miracles", supernatural 
phenomena and other manifestations of the paranatural. The results of this 
research will also be presented and discussed with the aim of encouraging 
productive exchanges with our readers.
Representatives from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, México, 
Paraguay, Perú, Puerto Rico and Venezuela make up Pensar's staff, which also 
includes prestigious Consultant Members: scientists, magicians, journalists 
and teachers.
In our first issue we deal with the ignored anomalies of the Turin "shroud", 
the conflict between creationism and evolution in the education field, the 
well-known myth stating that we use only a 10% of our brain, along with local 
news coming from the represented countries, and two columns with controversial 
questions: is the world falling into an ecological disaster? Are women 
preferred targets of pseudoscientists?
Welcome to Pensar, welcome to the adventure of knowledge.
Alejandro Borgo
Editor
