Vancouver BC: Infection Commences Tomorrow

I’m waiting to board my Air Canada flight to the rain-drenched city of Vancouver. Residents of that fair city are invited to come to the Beaty Biodiversity Museum, dry off for a spell, and hear my talk tomorrow at 7 about Darwin, the flu, and evolution . It’s free, but you have to register here. See you tomorrow.

Looking forward to it! ^_^ (and it’s only been raining for about a week or so, it’s not -that- rain-drenched…)

Sadly I will miss this, Carl (despite being a stone’s throw away). Is it being recorded in any formal fashion?

Just saw it, was all excited, and now realized it happened a week ago

Totally would’ve gone…
