From RNA to Humans-- Live webcasts tomorrow!

Are they not archiving the talks?

I've class all tomorrow so like you I won't be able to listen in live.. crap.

Oh yea! I have a long day at the microscope tomorrow so I'll be turning in. Thanks for the heads up!

Pow!!

You're welcome!

Well, ok, but this is going to hurt you a lot more than it's going to hurt me.... =)

Likin the new diggs.

Cheers.

I gather I should be embarrassed by not knowing any of those names ...

Will you be giving us an executive summary?

I agree with Sili up above. Is there any way those of us outside the biology/genetics fields could get an executive summary about the speakers and their topics?

Can't listen in myself, but I have a feeling it would all be over my head anyways, so a summary is likely my only hope for having a clue about what is presented.

Here are the bios provided by the Rockefeller.

Damn, I should have taken a sick day today. Bummed that I missed Cavalli-Sforza...

Hi all,

Just came from the talks (I went both days.). The morning session was chaired by American Museum of Natural History invertebrate paleontologist Niles Eldredge; the afternoon session by Dr. Eugenie Scott, Executive Director, National Center for Science Education. I was especially impressed with the talks in the afternoon, but both sessions were quite fascinating (The same is true for yesterday's which culminated in a fine presentation by University of Chicago evolutionary geneticist Jerry Coyne, in which he "trashed" Intelligent Design, relying on choice comments by one of my "pals", Bill Dembski.).

Regards,

John
