Skeptic's Toolbox Offers Education, Fun, and Educational Fun in Eugene, Oregon

The Skeptic's Toolbox Meeting in Eugene, Oregon, August 12-15 is offering a number of really interesting programs this year. Included are "How Early Con Games Led to the Development of the Modern Novel," "Scams That Can Kill: Goat Glands, Zappers, and Other Medical Frauds," "Ponzi Schemes: Bernie Madoff and Allen Stanford," and other fascinating panels. I've never been to one of these, but the folks involved include Ray Hyman, Loren Pankratz, Harriet Hall, and James Alcock. More here.
