I’m taking off this morning for a week in Boston, or rather Cambridge. The nominal excuse is that I’m giving a lecture in the public lecture series at Harvard’s Museum of Comparative Zoology (now called “The Museum of Natural History,” but I insist on using the name it had when I got my Ph.D. there). If you’re in the area, you’re welcome to come. The topic: “Why evolution is true and why many people still don’t believe it.” The talk is free and at 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Museum. There will be a book signing afterwards.
As usual, posting will be less frequent during such a trip, but I’m hoping Matthew and Greg will have things to say.
Ph don’t I just wish I *was* there! Hope the lecture goes well & you get heaps of listeners 🙂
Have a safe flight and try to avoid all those TSA peeps with non-consensual romance on their minds.
If the T’s running on time, I’ll be there! Welcome back to Beantown!
Will the talk be recorded on video?
I was working there until 2010 and it was still called the MCZ. The public exhibits, however, are called the Harvard Museum of Natural History. They are somewhat different entities with parallel hierarchies even though they occupy the same building. To show MCZ specimens in the HMNH you even have to fill out a specimen loan!
