Randi is an internationally known exposer of pseudoscientific nonsense. The
College of Science and Mathematics teaches a "Science and Nonsense" course
as part of the GE critical thinking curriculum. James Randi is a well-known
hero to those of us who teach this course. We were pleased to honor him at
a reception held before his ULS presentation in the SSU. For more information
