A final reminder that everyone is invited to CoyneFest, which is a symposium at which my former students, colleagues, and other folks I know will give short (20-minute) science talks, mostly on the subject of speciation. The details have already been given (you can find them here), but I wanted to add that you’ll have the chance, for making a very small donation to charity (Doctors Without Borders) to get a commemorative button, designed by artist Tubby Fleck:
3000 (or so) miles away sadly! I would love to buy a button though! (And attend of course…)
Sorry to miss this gathering which is in a good cause — paying tribute to Jerry’s good influence on evolutionary biology and areas beyond.
I just drew the cat. Didn’t Su design and make the buttons?
I am under instructions to mention ONLY Tubby Fleck!
OH. Wait, is that because I declined to add any kind of signature?
Have a great day, Jerry!

Wish i could be there to celebrate with you, but i will definitely make a donation.
Very special day. Enjoy every minute. Just love the buttons.
I wanna haz retirement button. How can haz?
I am sure that the traditional methods of bribery and corruption will rise to the task. What Coyne you pay in (sorry!) is not so clear, but over-ordering is a racing certainty.
Enjoy your party.
Get a new hole punched in the belt, and a month’s worth of gym bookings to work it off.
I’m only 8 miserable hours away but due to my perpetual poverty, I cannot attend. I do so wish I could. But, they do say “never meet your heroes” but then, I did meet Dawkins, and he was great, so maybe whoever “they” are, they just needed better heroes.
Have a grand time!
🙁 & I have no passport…
Congratulations – looks like an amazing program
Enjoy your special day and celebration, PCC(E)!
The buttons are super-kyuuto!
