ConFusion 2007 Science Guest, PZ Myers
Jan. 11th, 2006 10:57 amMere hours after I blogged about neurobiologist Paul Z. Myers yesterday, ConFusion picked up on my suggestion and invited him to be their Science Guest of Honor for 2007, and he accepted!
Krysta asked me to write an announcement for the e-mail list:
Dr. Myers, or PZ as he is known, is author of the popular blog www.Pharyngula.com, where he holds forth on science, religion, and the politics of science and religion.
Not only does he know the findings of science, he knows why science does its job better than the alternatives, and he is not afraid to name religious extremism when he sees it.
Evolution need not be a mystery to anyone. If you ever felt like you needed a firmer handle on the evidence in the creation vs. evolution issue, this is your chance. In his accessable and fiesty style, PZ will take us from the startling marvels of DNA, to the living wonder of the sea.
... It also doesn't hurt that he has a sense of humor, such as in his blog entries about porn for worms!
