Our goal is “to encourage curiosity and promote rational thinking”, hence the positive title of the organisation. At the same time, this inevitably means battling against irrationality and pseudoscience. We are pro-science and pro-evidence, which means we are anti-woo and anti-quack. In short, we like skepticism, but not cynicism.
Our work has taken many forms, including encouraging excellence in the teaching of maths, successfully challenging NHS spending on homeopathy, organising awareness-raising campaigns about the nature of psychic claims, investigating and reporting dangerous alternative health treatments, publishing factsheets on common pseudosciences, and more.
