I’m a member of the New York Academy of Science, so I regularly get emails about the various (generally excellent) series of public lectures that they put on. Last Fall, the theme was neuroscience (hence my membership), and this Fall the theme is “Provocative Thinkers in Science.” Of course, nobody does provocative science like Richard Dawkins does provocative science–rarely are death fatwahs issued over disputes in microphysics–so, of course, he is prominently featured in the series (which also includes other greats like Aubrey De Grey). Tickets are quite cheap ($25 for nonmembers, or $20 for students), and are also likely to go very quickly: all the lectures I saw last year featured relatively small audiences, which is part of the draw–if this is run in a similar way, you’ll be in a room listening to Dawkins, not a lecture hall. I’ve already got my ticket, and am very excited to see one of the modern atheist icons in person. New York City area atheists: care to join me on October 19 at 7:00?
