Taner is currently a professor of physics at Truman State University, his present research interests focus on the philosophy and history of science.
Fascinated by the plethora of supernatural and fringe science beliefs around him, and concerned about the rise of Islamist politics in Turkey, Edis first got involved with skeptical inquiry into religious and paranormal claims during his graduate studies. He has since written and spoken extensively on such subjects, particularly on the topic of anti-evolutionary thought. His writing has characteristically combined scientific rigor with an ability to reach a broad audience.
We'll talk about his latest book: "Weirdness! What Fake Science and the Paranormal Tell Us about the Nature of Science"
