ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************
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.
