I'm heading to Colorado to give a talk at the University of Denver tomorrow. The subject of the talk is my book Soul Made Flesh, about the birth of neurology in the 1600s (see PZ Myer's kind review here). I'll also be talking about the experience of writing books about science.

If you live around Denver and are free at 12:30 pm Tuesday, come by. Here are the details.
