Azra Raza invites you to attend...
Last year, the annual lecture in memory of my sister Azra's late husband, Harvey David Preisler, was delivered by Medicine Nobel laureate Craig Mello. I wrote about that lecture here.
This year, the lecture will be delivered by Richard Dawkins. The lecture is entitled "The Purpose of Purpose," and Professor Dawkins will make himself available for a question/answer period afterward. If you are in the New York City area (or can be on Saturday), I urge you to attend. I myself will be flying in from Italy for the lecture and hope to see you there.
RSVP in the comments section to me to be put on a complimentary list, courtesy of my sister.

Thanks Abbas! I hope to see you next year. Not enough time to travel from Vancouver on our way to Punta Cana.
Best to you for how much you contribute to enrich our minds...
I bow to your sister and to the memory of her husband.
