Skeptical Science at the 2013 AGU Fall meeting
Posted on 21 November 2013 by John Cook
The American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting is one of the largest gatherings of climate scientists in the world. Every December, tens of thousands of Earth scientists converge on San Francisco. Over 5 days, the scientific community present a mind-boggingly huge and diverse number of talks and posters. And they offer free beer at the poster sessions!
This year, Skeptical Science team members will be presenting a number of talks and posters. Some of it will be about work we've published over the last year while we'll also be presenting upcoming research. On Monday at 10.50am, I'll be presenting the latest results from my PhD research, which includes some fascinating findings that may change the way we think about misinformation. For those not attending the conference, AGU are offering virtual options on the three talks, which means they'll all be available as live video streams. I'll post URLs of the live stream as soon as its available.
Here are the talks and posters where you'll be able to find us - do be sure to track us down at the poster sessions as there will likely be a number of SkSers hovering around (heckling the poster presenter).
