Atropos Skeptics Society
Skeptics. Podcasters. Writers. A whole lot of tea.
We are a small Czech skeptical society with big ambitions and very limited capacity.

We don’t take ourselves too seriously. But we do take the world seriously.
Active Members
Psax (Pavel)
Chairman, founder, and skeptic to the core.
Father to one small human, a professional in TV post-production, a citizen scientist-entomologist, and a lover of night forests and ironic humor. The founder of all this. Also a member of Guerrilla Skepticism on Wikipedia and the Czech Skeptics Club Sisyfos.
(Un)paid by Big Pharma and Soros, of course.
Lichlelle (Jana)
The cynic with a budget overview.
An incorrigible perfectionist who loves darkness, structures, and details no one else has noticed. A trained IT specialist and marketing professional who drives everyone crazy while simultaneously holding our internal chaos together.
Ameely (Veronika)
Brings magical chaos to our skeptical structure.
A creative “Aquarian” soul and a writer. Not a skeptic in the classic sense, yet she stays with us—which arguably makes her our most courageous member.
Marczech (Marek)
