"QED isn’t the skepticism you see on TV. What I mean is that it’s nuanced, kind, engaged, and human even when it is uncompromising. " - Hayley Stevens on @QEDcon

Absolutely fantastic talk from Dr Cyriac Abby Philips, 'the liver doc' yest.

Treating patients young and old who have complex liver failure issues due to the ayurvedic remedies India's powerful cultural network of quacks gives to people, people who are just concerned for their health and that of their children.

Babies with mercury poisoning. A teen w alcoholic cirrhosis. Arsenic poisoning.

Horrific. Please support him https://www.skeptic.org.uk/2025/10/dr-cyriac-abby-philips-wins-2025-skeptical-activism-ockham-award/ #skeptics #traditionalMedicine #altMed #CAM #QEDcon

I cannot recommend @qed enough! If you're not going to the last QED (😭) in person, take advantage of the online streaming tickets! #QEDCon #TeamScience #Skepticism

Done. #qedcon

What sad, sad news to learn this year's will be the last @QEDcon 😭😭😭😭😭
I'm sure there are good reasons from the organisers to have reached this decision, but this was the best skeptical conference in the world. I've learned soooo much there. Where will I learn to be a better skeptic now?
😭😭😭😭😭
Thank you Mike, @Marsh , @AliceEmmaLouise , Andy, Rick, Nicola, and everyone else behind the scenes!

Just spent an incredible weekend at QEDcon. I've had three days of fascinating talks and met some amazing people.
If you're interested in Skeptics in the Pub, get to Manchester next year!

@Marsh announces that the owner of the :birdsite: is the winner of the Rusty Razor award for the promotion of #pseudoscience. The only award that awful man deserves!! #QEDCon #Skepticism @QEDcon

Dr Flint Dible won the #OccamAward for skeptical activism. Very much deserved! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✊🏻 @QEDcon @TheSkeptic #QEDCon #Skepticism #Archaeodons #Archaeology

Now on at #qedcon: physicist Sabine Hossenfelder dissecting hope from hype and woo in quantum tech.

I’m at a science and scepticism conference in Manchester (#QEDCon) this weekend. Great talks so far on everything from electric planes, to medical disinformation, to mythical ancient civilisations.
