The title in Subject above is a conversation to be held at Stanford 
Univ. Sunday with Richard Dawkins and Lawrence Kruass as guests. Dawkins 
is on a university tour of the USA. Saturday the tour will be at UC 
Berkeley. I have no idea if Krauss is on the tour with him or it just 
happens at Stanford.  The topic description from 
<http://auroraforum.org/> is below. It was sold out when I was there 
earlier this week, but I'm told will be available as a download or 
pod-cast on the Aurora link in a few weeks. The tour schedule is on 
<http://richarddawkins.net/>.

=======================================
The rise of religiously motivated threats to scientific practice and 
instruction in American schools has motivated biologist* Richard Dawkins 
*and physicist* Lawrence Krauss* to engage in a public dialogue on 
strategies for science education in the twenty-first century.  Their 
open conversation concerning science literacy and related issues began 
in the July 2007 /Scientific American/ and continues at this Aurora 
Forum event moderated by *Mark Kay* of the Stanford School of Medicine.
