2024 has been an exciting and eventful year in our quest to create a science museum dedicated to skepticism and critical thinking. Here are some of our accomplishments from the past year:

• Building a strong social media presence:
  • Bluesky: @bsmuseum.org (over 700 followers)
  • Facebook: Behrens Science Museum
  • Instagram: Behrens Science Museum (over 80 followers)
  • LinkedIn: Behrens Science Museum
  • Threads: @BehrensScienceMuseum (over 100 followers)
• Regularly updating our website to keep the community informed
• Applying for and being accepted to speak at CSICon 2024
• Analyzing science museum exhibits for their alignment with skeptical principles
• Sharing our findings:
  • Presented to the National Capital Area Skeptics (online)
  • Delivered a talk at CSICon 2024

Looking ahead, our primary goal for 2025 is to continue raising awareness of the museum concept. Our plans include:

• Increasing the frequency of social media and blog posts.
• Sharing more exhibit concepts, such as the Nostradamus blog post.
• Collaborating with like-minded organizations to amplify our impact.

Thank you for your support in 2024. As we look ahead to 2025, we face an ever-growing tide of pseudoscience and misinformation. Together, let’s continue sharpening our critical thinking, championing skepticism, and meeting the challenge of separating fact from fiction.

Here’s to a 2025 where reason, evidence, and critical inquiry prevail.
