Thanks Grant. There has been a big discussion of it amongst the Scibloggers today. Seems PZ has jumped the gun a little although, frankly, the RSNZ should have said 'we are not qualified to comment'!

Hi Grant,

I was wondering if anything came of the suggestion to schedule my talk for SitP. I'll be leaving Auckland on October 15, so I could do my presentatinon teaching speciation on October 14 at the very latest.

Cheers (from the Coromandel)

Thanks Grant, much appreciated getting a reply from you. Just a word or two on my background: I teach English for the Sciences in Germany and research on the teaching of evolution. An earlier version of my talk is available on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4S4wyC... - part 1, the other 2 parts are also up). This was the one given at the beginning of last year in Christchurch.

Hope to be able to meet up with you in Auckland!
