Azra Raza invites you to attend...

Dawkins_copy_2

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 for the invitation, Abbas.
Unfortunately, child care responsibilities must take priority, much as I admire Richard Dawkins.
