Embedded below is Donna Harris’s talk from SkeptiCamp Winnipeg 2013. Donna Harris holds an M.A. in English Literature from the University of Manitoba, writes book reviews for the Winnipeg Free Press, and helms the Manitoba Humanist newsletter in her meagre spare time. A life-long science nerd as well as a non-believer, her activism was only engaged after attending the James Randi Educational Foundation’s Amaz!ng Meeting 4. She is president of the Humanists, Atheists & Agnostics of Manitoba, and is happy to call herself humanist, atheist, and skeptic.

SkeptiCamp Winnipeg is a conference for the sharing of ideas. It is free and open to the public: anyone can attend and participate! Presentations and discussions focus on science and free inquiry, and the audience is encouraged to challenge presenters to defend their ideas.
