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. Of course, the first thing I'll have to confess is that most of the experience of writing Soul Made Flesh--going to libraries, paging through physical books--is already fairly obsolete.
If you live around Denver and are free at 12:30 pm Tuesday, come by. Here are the details.

The drums pounded and oars stirred the water in perfect rhythm--the experience was both invigorating and calming at the same time. This weekend, the Dragon Boat races came to Sloan's Lake in Denver. Despite soaring temperatures, hundreds of metro residents came out to join the festivities.
I'm never this organized, so I don't know what's wrong with me.
