Wendy M. Grossman
From SkepticWiki
The Skeptic is the UK’s only regular magazine to take a skeptical look at pseudoscience and claims of the paranormal (it was originally named The British and Irish Skeptic). Founded in 1987 by Wendy Grossman, the magazine is now co-edited by Professor Chris French from the Anomalistic Psychology Research Unit, Goldsmiths College, London, and Victoria Hamilton. It is a non-profit magazine published four times a year, available only by subscription. An invaluable resource for journalists, teachers, psychologists, and inquisitive people of all ages who yearn to discover the truth behind the many extraordinary claims of paranormal and unusual phenomena (N.B. it is not connected with the similarly named (American) Skeptic Magazine or the (Australian) The Skeptic journal).
Grossman hails from New York: she attended Riverdale Country School in Bronx, and Cornell University at Ithaca (1971 - 1975.) She was a full-time folksinger from 1975-1983 and has one album from her folksinging days, Roseville Fair (1980). She also played on an even more obscure album released in 1978 from Kicking Mule Records called the Women's Guitar Workshop.
She began working in journalism in 1990; her work has appeared in Scientific American, the British newspapers the Guardian and the Daily Telegraph, New Scientist, and the Times Higher Education Supplement. On the Web, she writes for ZDNet UK (doing most of their book reviews), and occasionally The Register and Wired News. Wendy also writes a weekly column, net.wars.
