Packed Lunch: Parapsychology
19 October 2011, 13.00 - 13.45

Feed your curiosity at our daytime discussions. Drop in to
hear local scientists in conversation about their latest
experiments, life in the lab and why science matters to everyone,
all in the space of your lunch hour. Bring your sarnies with
you to eat while you listen.
Psychics, paranormal activity,
precognition - psychologist and sceptic Chris
French, of Goldsmiths, University of London, has spent his
career subjecting paranormal claims to scientific scrutiny. He
argues that there are powerful psychological factors at work that
may explain why people continue to passionately believe in
supernatural forces, and that can be traced back to the beginnings
of human evolutionary history. Come along to find out why truth is
even stranger than fiction.
Speaker: Chris French,
psychologist, Goldsmiths, University of London.
This event is FREE. First come, first
