About

Professor Richard Dawkins is a world-renowned truth-teller, evolutionary biologist, and best-selling author, celebrated globally for his honest critique of religion and tradition and his push for critical thinking. His books include "The Ancestor's Tale," "The Selfish Gene," "The Blind Watchmaker," "Climbing Mount Improbable," "Unweaving the Rainbow," "A Devil's Chaplain," "The God Delusion," "The Greatest Show on Earth," "The Magic of Reality," his two-part autobiography "An Appetite for Wonder" and "A Brief Candle in the Dark," and "Outgrowing God: A Beginner's Guide."

Richard Dawkins has gained notoriety for his unwavering commitment to science as an advocate for scientific literacy and rational thinking, particularly in the education of younger generations. His relentless pursuit of truth, and his recognition of the beauty in life on earth, has made him a revered source of wisdom and insight, in response to scientific and existential inquiries like 'What are we doing here?' and 'When did life begin?'

    Book signing with an expensive, overblown foreward

    by Anonymoose on 10/16/19Somerville Theatre - Somerville

    It was definitely a conversation between intelligent, skeptical people. It just wasn't handled very intelligently. It was intended to be a free form Q/A which can be lovely, but this went the way of unwieldy ruminations. I'm sure plenty of other viewers spent a substantial portion of their time in their own heads on the subjects presented while they waited for the conversation to get back on track. TLDR: I've experienced better question-driven dialogue on Yahoo answers.

    Richard Dawkins/Max Tegmark

    by Chris on 10/16/19Somerville Theatre - Somerville

    I really enjoyed the location and the discussion. The Somerville Theater is an old building with old decorative art throughout its interior. From the painting on the ceiling to the elaborate architecture and trimming, I really got the sense of walking into a space that was, in a way, frozen in time. The conversation between the two keynote speakers was refreshing. I would absolutely love to see Richard Dawkins and Max Tegmark again.

    Prefer long form talk over random conversation

    by Lecture Nerd on 10/16/19Somerville Theatre - Somerville

    The format was a bit of an unscripted book review but I have enjoyed many of Dawkins long form lectures much more, because it lets you see more of his wonderful brain. I realize he had laryngitis though the format probably was predetermined.
