CSICOP (Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal)

CSICOP, now known as the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry (CSI), is an organization dedicated to investigating paranormal and pseudoscientific claims using scientific methods. It promotes critical thinking, empirical evidence, and rational inquiry to assess extraordinary assertions such as UFOs, astrology, and psychic phenomena. Founded in 1976, CSI aims to distinguish credible science from unfounded beliefs, encouraging a scientific approach to understanding the world and preventing the spread of misinformation. Its work involves expert analysis, education, and public outreach to foster a more scientifically informed society.
