Bump and a plug - PZ Myers to be in Duluth, MN Sun. Oct. 7
Meeting starts at 9:00 am - I may need to stay up all night to make it. Look for someone bleary and stupid looking.
​
PZ's blog on it:
​
I’m finally going to visit Duluth

LAKE SUPERIOR FREETHINKERS – Humanists | Secularists | Agnostics | Atheists

quote:
On Sunday, October 7th at 9:00 AM, Lake Superior Freethinkers will host PZ Myers in a presentation at its monthly meeting in the Radisson Hotel on Superior St. in Duluth. Put this on your calendar now!
​
Dr. Myers is an associate professor of biology at the University of Minnesota Morris and the author of one of the most popular science blogs on the Internet: Pharyngula. He is also a prominent speaker at freethought and secular conferences around the world. The video below is his presentation at the Global Atheist Convention in Melbourne, Australia in April of 2012.

​
Dr. Myers is a strong advocate for excellence in science education and has recently been instrumental in securing a $1.2 million grant for UMM to support undergraduate research and improve science education in secondary schools.
​
Professor Myers is a fierce enemy of the encroachment of creationism into the public school science curriculum. His talk to LSF is titled "The evolution of creationism". Don't miss it!

PZ Myers in Duluth, MN Sun. Oct. 7
A minor article in the Duluth News Tribune:
​
404: Page Not Found
​
No great revaluations, but a nice presentation. I talked to PZ quite a bit, including at a home after the meeting. Alas, I didn't quite make the photo - I was to PZ's immediate right when the following was taken.
