Yes, I know there are thousands of these this year, and by October we'll all be tired of them, but this one looks like the main game: Darwin/Chicago 2009. I am, of course, upset not to be invited to speak, but there are a few good names there to make up for my absence...

Probably going to fly in for this. Good groups of speakers - both scientific and non - and I've never actually been to Chicago (except to drive through).
Damn! Two things:
- Looking at the list of speakers alone you may be fooled into thinking the conference will be held at Harvard.
- Looking at the program you may wish you could be at two different places at the same time.
Speaking of which, why isn't Harvard having a big Darwin conference?
Not so great. Ruse is giving a talk: "Is Darwinism Past Its 'Sell-by' Date? The Challenge of Evo-Devo"
I think he's past his sell-by date.
Scott, Shubin, Futuyma, but not you? It's all phylogeny, paleontology, ontogeny. And some guy named Kitcher talking about philosphy. Who the frak is he? He wrote his books a long time ago, so anything he has to say is so outdated.
