Myers and Zimmer: The Followup

For those who missed the events - or want to relive them - head on over to budding media mogul Michael Bradbury’s REALscience Web site, where he too has written a nice summary of the events and posted the full audio of the talks by PZ Myers and Carl Zimmer.

PZ Myers: On Science, Blogs, and Intelligent Debates

 

Pacific Science Center, Laser Dome, Monday, June 2, 7 p.m., FREE to the public

Paul "PZ" Myers is persona non grata at the Discovery Institute. He was recently booted out of a screening of the film "Expelled"—an irony certainly not lost on him. And now the evolutionary biologist and rabble-rouser blogger is coming to Seattle for one night only. He’ll be talking about the evolution of creationism and other oxymoronic topics with the same zeal and wit that have made him one of the fittest survivors on the science blog circuit.

 

Join the Northwest Science Writers Association and the Forum on Science Ethics and Policy for a conversation with PZ Myers. He’ll answer your questions and take us inside his popular blog, Pharyngula. He's been called a "godless liberal" and his blog posts have been described as "random biological ejaculations." And that’s just what he says. Others have attacked him for his stout devotion to evolution and probably for being funnier than those he offends. His talk will describe the challenges of communicating science to a sometimes hostile and often terribly confused public.
