Our mission is to educate those in Northern Nevada and the Lake Tahoe Area to the application and benefits of the scientific method and critical thought; and to the growing local promotion of pseudoscience, paranormal, supernatural and other extraordinary, unproven beliefs.
Reno Skeptics typically remains neutral on issues of politics and religion, as other organizations exist that are better suited to, and organized for these purposes. However, issues that cause physical, psychological, monetary or other harm will be explored.

1) Promote science education and increased awareness of pseudoscience and other extraordinary claims or beliefs;
2) Provide well researched comment and rebuttal to the promotion of pseudoscience in Northern Nevada and the
Lake Tahoe Area;
