Me and the state I love. Eccles Pass (12,435 ft) in the Gore Range, Colorado, July 3, 2009. Some of the meadows behind me were absolutely COATED with yellow glacier lilies.
I’ve been thinking of what I can do to support this year’s International Year of Biodiversity, and I’ve decided I’d like to take my “Life on Earth” lecture on the road. The talk will not be mere platitudes about biodiversity and its importance; we’re talking specifics — interesting science, weird organisms and their “alternative” lifestyles, beautiful photographs, and more natural history than you can shake a stick at. Basically, more of the same stuff you come to this blog for, plus you’d get to meet me and pick my brain in person.
I’m planning to expand the 25 minute talk I gave last year at the Colorado Skepticamp into something closer to an hour (although half an hour is still an option) that I could give at a few venues around the Front Range (or perhaps farther afield if travel stipends are involved). If you are in a group that would be interested in hearing me talk on the subject of biodiversity and life on Earth, leave a comment to this post or contact me privately at the email address listed on the Portfolio page. I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to speak for everyone who makes a request (should there BE any requests : ) ), but all requests will be carefully considered.

Lovely picture, it looks so cold!
It wasn’t too bad! It was July 3 in the Northern Hemisphere, after all. : )
