Daniel Loxton wrote:Skeptic.com is pleased to announce the exclusive web release of "What Do I Do Next?" (PDF).

Bringing together 13 leading skeptics from several organizations, this large-scale collaborative project attempts to answer the question, “Alright, I’m ready to become a skeptical activist. Now what?”

Inside, you will discover 105 things you can do to promote science and advance skeptical thinking. In a conversation of unprecedented breadth and detail, the panelists share 30,000 words of wisdom and advice about those 105 points. (Download the full discussion, or survey a point-form, html version of the entire list.)

Their comments comprise a fair cross-section of skeptical thought.
