Hello, this is Robert Sheaffer. I'm an author, a free-lance writer, and skeptical investigator of all manner of bogus claims. In real life, I have been working as a data communications engineer in the Silicon Valley. I have been a fellow of CSICOP - the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal - since 1977. I have been a regular contributor and columnist for their magazine, The Skeptical Inquirer, since its second issue of publication (Spring/Summer, 1977). I have also been a member of Mensa for over ten years.
plus other published writings.

My many interests outside Skeptical pursuits
include classical music and singing, especially
opera
(I have sung in a number of
opera productions
- I'm a tenor),
astronomy
and
science, philosophy, history, and practically everything else.
I am the author of three
books, published by
Prometheus Books
in Buffalo, New York
(you can look them up yourself in the on-line
Library of Congress
catalog), and many articles and reviews.
