Upcoming Events

Courtesy of the SPR Facebook page, here's another talk by Caroline Watt at Edinburgh Medical School on 1 October, entitled "Investigating the Impossible: Paranormal communication." It's free, but it looks as though advance registration may be required:

"Join Professor Caroline Watt, holder of the UK’s only Chair in parapsychology, to discover how parapsychologists investigate claimed paranormal communication. From investigating spontaneous precognitive experiences to controlled laboratory research examining whether people have telepathic abilities, discover the challenges and unexpected scientific rewards of investigating the impossible."

The Parapsychological Association and the Society for Scientific Exploration are hosting a four-day event on 16-19 June 2020 at Durham, North Carolina:

Nancy Zingrone's and Carlos Alvarado's free online course ParaMOOC2020 is due to begin today, and to continue until the end of February. Enrolment should be available here (but I wasn't able to log in, reset my password or create a new account with a different email address, so there may be a technical problem):

The same page includes titles of talks, though without any names. With the help of Google I managed to find a list including names, but not including all the talks:

Apparently they are going to be available at the Parapsychology Foundation's YouTube channel within a week of being presented, so that may be the easiest way to watch them.
