Kendrick Frazier

Kendrick Frazier was born in Windsor, Colorado is a science writer and editor. He was the editor of "Science News" for several years. Since 1977 he has been the editor of "Skeptical Inquirer", the journal published by CSICOP. Frazier received a B.A. in Journalism from the University of Colorado and a M.S. in Journalism from Columbia University. He is a member of the National Association of Science Writers and the American Geophysical Union.

Frazier was the earth sciences editor of "Science News" in 1969–70. He was named managing editor in 1970–71, then editor from 1971 to 1977, and remained a contributing editor until 1981. In August 1977 he became the editor of the "Skeptical Inquirer", a position he holds as of 2006.

In 1985 the University of Colorado presented him with the George Norlin Award for outstanding achievement by an alumnus. In 2005 Frazier was made a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) for "distinguished contributions to the public understanding of science through writing for and editing popular science magazines that emphasize science news and scientific reasoning and methods."

Frazier has a brother named Jim Frazier who was an avid believer of UFOs and paranormal activity in the 1970s and early 1980s. Jim Frazier was connected with self-claimed UFO abductee Brian Scott. This may account for Kendrick's pursuit of science.

He lives with his wife, Ruth, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She is a former president of Futures for Children, which works with American Indians of the Southwest.
