Random Quote

To put it as simply as possible: I am not a Muslim. […] I do not accept the charge of apostacy, because I have never in my adult life affirmed any belief, and what one has not affirmed one can not be said to have apostasized from. The Islam I know states clearly that 'there can be no coercion in matters of religion'. The many Muslims I respect would be horrified by the idea that they belong to their faith purely by virtue of birth, and that a person who freely chose not to be a Muslim could therefore be put to death.

[Salman Rushdie, "In Good Faith", 1990]

Sean Carroll at the Bell Museum

Category: Local
Posted on: April 27, 2009 3:20 PM, by PZ Myers

This should be good, but I may have to miss it: Sean Carroll will be speaking at the University of Minnesota on 15 May — he'll also be speaking at the biology commencement the day after. He'll be talking about his new book, Remarkable Creatures, which is very good.

I'll be flying back from California the day before, and have my own university's commencement ceremony to attend the day after, so he's right there in a tantalizing hole in my own schedule…I could do it with a little bit of shuttling back and forth. I'll have to think about how to manage it…

Mmm, if you fly in from California to Minneapolis and just stay over, you could do it. Or do you have to fly home and then drive a round trip to Minneapolis and back? I'd be tempted to watch to podcast.

Monado in Toronto -

Nah. I'm sure that he takes a direct flight from California to Alexandria, MN, and then the high-speed rail from there to Morris.

Where in California will you be, PZ? Northern? Southern? And I assume there'll be a lecture involved? Inquiring minds would like to know!

We had a bunch of big name speakers last month, but I thought that Carroll gave the best and most polished talk of the bunch.

He'll be in speaking about Remarkable Creatures next week (May 5?) at U of Oregon in Eugene. I, unfortunately, will be in New Mexico.

@Oded

Yeah me too. Just remember, the 'B' is for Biology, and the 'M' is for M-Theory.

Agree. Tis confusing. Maybe Sean Carroll, CV (for Cosmic Variance, or such) A single letter would do.

I think the two of them should get together and write a book about science and religion.

Comment 12 appears to be spam.

Speaking of travel, how's the effort going to set up a tip jar for a new squidmobile? If it's against Scienceblogs rules, PZ could put it on the old Pharyngula site.
