Jack is Darwin's homeboy!
Help us raise $2,000 to bring Young Australian Skeptic Jack Scanlan to the world’s premiere skeptical gathering, The Amazing Meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada, this July!
Why Jack? Although he is only 19 years old, Jack is a tireless skeptical activist who has devoted his free time to debating proponents of intelligent design and creationism on his blog, http://www.naontiotami.com/, while also working with the Young Australian Skeptics to get more young people interested in skepticism. In addition to his activism, Jack also studies genetics at university, and plays a mean jazz trumpet. Ok, maybe not mean really, a quite FRIENDLY trumpet. A skeptical trumpet!!!
At The Amazing Meeting, Jack will not only learn more tools for science/skeptic outreach , but also be exposed to the largest group of skeptics assembled in the world!!! Many people have reported that The Amazing Meeting quite literally changes their life, and Jack is the perfect young person take this opportunity and use it to get MORE young people involved.
We have already raised $500 $845 $1,300 of the $2,000 needed to fly Jack from Melbourne, Australia to Las Vegas, so that leaves just $700 left!! Please donate, and encourage friends to do the same. Because as a very wise person once said “I believe the children are the future, teach them well, and let them lead the way” – Sexual Chocolate (Eddie Murphy in Coming to America.)

Woo! I’m in a picture with a soon to be famous person! :-p
Here’s hoping Jack gets to go!
Hey, Jack. I’m glad you’re coming to TAM too. That will make it 3 Victorians I know of, including me. I’ll donate something but my credit card is labouring under the weight of my own ticket.
Mobyseven, are you the crocoduck or the mustache?
