We will have blogging: P.Z., who decided at the last minute to attend, has promised to either live-blog or provide evening data dumps. The University of Chicago has also arranged for live blogging. Jeremy Manier, our news director, forwarded this information:
Rob Mitchum, a neurobiology PhD from here who’s been going a great job on our Science Life blog, will also be live-blogging Darwin/Chicago, with an assist from me here. Right now he’s featuring a good interview with Bob Richards on the event.
You should also know that the library here has posted a cool multimedia page on the 1959 conference here. It includes video and audio from the conference and even audio from a daffy Darwin musical that was written for the event (my favorite is the song “Trilobite”).
We also have a web feature that details the historical links.
As I mentioned in a comment, we’ve arranged to have every presentation filmed, so I expect that you’ll be able to see them all on the Darwin/Chicago website before too long.
More goodies. terrific!
Thanks for making the stuff at this conference available to the rest of us. I sure wish that I could be there! (I’ll be giving undergraduates calculus exams instead. 🙁 )
I take it that to continue the musical tradition They Might be Giants will be showing up at the meeting to play My Brother, the Ape and I’m a Paleontologist. 😉
Thanks for the extra plug, Jerry! This should be a great time.
Hooray for having them all filmed. I’m coming, but I won’t be able to make tonights sessions. I look forward to your talk on Friday, Jerry.
