Talking, Past and Future

I've updated the talks page on my web site after a long stretch of neglect. I've included links to podcasts and video of previous appearances, and what information I have at this point about upcoming talks. It's going to be a fairly busy spring, with talks hither and yon on extinctions, whales, Darwin, and science writing. And that doesn't even include talking about my next book, Microcosm.

Anyone interested in having me give a lecture or interview about Microcosm when it comes out in the spring is welcome get in touch. Knopf Speakers Bureau can handle requests for lectures on other topics.
