From the easily disproved to the wildly speculative, to straight-up hucksterism, "Pseudoscience" is a romp through much more than bad science—it’s a light-hearted look into why we insist on believing in things such as Bigfoot, astrology, and the existence of aliens.
Nate Pedersen is an award-winning nonfiction writer and anthologist living in southern Minnesota. In addition to Pseudoscience, he and Lydia Kang, MD have co-authored "Quackery: A Brief History of the Worst Ways to Cure Everything" and "Patient Zero: A Curious History of the World's Worst Diseases," all published by Workman / Hachette.
Questions for the presenter will be relayed from YouTube's live chat.
