One of the preeminent defenders of science and reason. A real loss in these troubled times.

Definitely an important figure in the skeptical movement. He was out there testing claims and publishing the results. He got labeled as a "debunker" but he never saw himself that way.

90 years is a pretty good run though. He sure did a lot with that time.

Mr. Nickell was great.

(Please note that he died at age 80.)
