    Bi Weekly Wellington Skeptics in the Pub

    Posted by: James Sullivan James Sullivan on Nov 2, 2009

    As only a few people came to the one on the 23rd I thought it would be a good idea to make it more official. At the last one where most people showed up it was suggested/agreed upon to meet up every two weeks. The first of those was the 23rd and in the end there was 4 of us. The next one is this Friday on the 6th.

    I don't know if it's possible to create a repeating event to reflect this bi weekly meetup but I'll be at Kitty's every two weeks on a Friday from around 6ish. So come on, don't let this die yet. :)

    Challenge a course at VUW probably extolling Homeopathy

    Posted by: Peter Clemerson Peter Clemerson on Feb 2, 2010

    Dr Art Buehler of the Religious Studies Dept. will be a co-presenter on 3/3/10 of a course titled "Two Methods of Healing - Traditional Indian Medicine and Homeopathy"

    From the publicity literature
    "This course examines two methods of healing: traditional Indian medicine and homeopathy. The seminar begins with Rick Weiss discussing traditional medicine in contemporary India today. He will explore the basic features of Indian healing and the challenges traditional doctors face as they strive to maintain their relevance in the modern world.

    Following on from Indian medicine, Art Buehler will discuss homeopathy in the contemporary Western context, explaining the principles and history of homeopathy and its effectiveness in healing."

    I think not less than 2 members of the Wellington branch of the NZ Skeptics should be there. Should Dr Buelher advocate Homeopathy, even implicitly, he should be challenged. Pub meeting to take place to prepare attendance details.
