A columnist for Skeptical Inquirer, she is the co-founder of Monterey County Skeptics and a fellow of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry. In 2010, Gerbic founded “Guerrilla Skepticism on Wikipedia” (GSoW), a group of editors who create and improve Wikipedia articles that reflect scientific skepticism.
