I have to admit, Colin Purrington, Swarthmore prof and evolution activist, is one of my heroes. Check out his site, you’ll love it: http://www.swarthmore.edu/NatSci/cpurrin1/evolk12/evoops.htm
I really hope to make this particular cafe, even though I’ve seen him speak a bunch of times.
“Embracing Darwin”
Charles Darwin turned 200 in February, and his book On the Origin of Species turns 150 in late November. Colin Purrington, an evolutionary biologist at Swarthmore College who operates the online site The Axis of Evo, will discuss why both the man and his work remain significant today and worthy of celebration. He will leave time for the audience to come pose with a life-size cut out of Charles Darwin, so please bring your cameras and remember to wear something presentable. If the audience is good, he will also hand out “Charles Darwin has a posse” stickers and temporary tattoos to promote appreciation of evolution.
Presented by the The American Philosophical Society (APS) Museum.
Science on Tap, 6PM at National Mechanics on Nov. 9th.

[...] is trying to sneak in a “bonus” science cafe (which I hope doesn’t detract from Colin Purrington’s event on the ninth) with what promises to be a cool change of pace, a dramatic presentation by the Flashpoint Theater [...]

I actually got to read the Boom screenplay many years ago, to give comments to author. Hope to see you on 9th!
