Why the Loom?

"...among the joyous, heartless, ever-juvenile eternities, Pip saw the multitudinous, God-omnipresent, coral insects, that out of the firmament of waters, heaved the colossal orbs. He saw God's foot upon the treadle of the loom, and spoke it; and therefore his shipmates called him mad."
--Moby Dick

Minds Evolving in Brooklyn

Category: Upcoming Talks
Posted on: May 15, 2008 9:23 AM, by Carl Zimmer

Do you live in Brooklyn? Or a subway ride from SUNY Downstate Medical Center? Are you free Tuesday May 20 at 4 pm? Then swing over for a lecture I'll be giving on the evolution of mind. Here's a copy of the poster (full size here). And while I'll certainly be talking about human minds, you can expect other species to make cameos, from smart flies to clever hyenas to mindless E. coli. They all fit together into a big picture. See you there.

(PS: Just a reminder--I'll also be at Harvard Book Store in Cambridge on Friday and the Field Museum in Chicago on Saturday to talk about Microcosm.)

Oh this is awful, I'm in Texas.

Are you linked with SUNY? I've been thinking of applying there in a sort of biopsychology/archaeological ethology/paleontology sort of field. I think they have people interested in that, there.
