Wanna watch Dawkins' "God Delusion" presentation? Go on, it's well done and also quite funny.

A few months back I had a chance to be involved with Dawkins' visit to Vancouver, and here we had a chance to record his speech. Not a bad way to spend an hour on this particular day.

Actually, Richard's presentation is very good (quite humourous at times) and definitely worth checking out. Click on the image below which should transport you to an enabled video site (the actual movie is protected to only play at terry.ubc.ca).

Hi David,

I'm organising a scientific retreat for pre- and postdocs in Singapore, and i was wondering if it would be possible to screen this lecture as part of the program, in the hope of generating some discussion afterwards. (I don't think that "discussion" will be too much of a problem here.)

Could you please email me so we can discuss access to the video?

Cheers,
Tom
