bluedot 2018 | Richard Dawkins: Science in the Soul in Conversation with Jim Al-Khalili

Показать описание

Richard Dawkins FRS was Oxford’s inaugural Professor of Public Understanding of Science, retiring in 2008. His latest book, Science in the Soul formed the basis of his talk at bluedot 2018, in conversation with academic physicist, author and broadcaster Jim Al-Khalili. The book is a collection of essays ranging from comic parodies of PG Wodehouse to serious discussions of the future, of evolutionary biology, and the role of science in society.

Richard Dawkins is so polite, so suave, so articulate, so spontaneous in his answers so apt in his choice of words that his talk is a comprehensive class of language, tone, science and biology. What an inspiration you are for me, far away here in india

Dear Professor Dawkins,

I have been inspired more by you than any other person. I have listened to most of your books in audio form.

You will continue to inspire me till my last moment.

I adore and have the greatest admiration for Richard Dawkins. I am in Awe. He helped me to be a better human being, to appreciate our beautiful planet and to not be scared of the bullies who want to make belief in god by force.

Richard, keep up the good work! I'm so glad that we have Richard Dawkins. And thanks to modern technology not only will his books live on, but in the future people will still be able hear his voice and see his image. We will always have him, and Christopher Hitchens. also.

It seems like Dawkins always knows what to say. There's never really an empty space where he isn't taking you on some journey of thought. Love it.

Why is there strange quiet music in the background

Both in my mind our future Nobel laureates.. and both deservingly
professor Dawkins is one of the greatest minds of our time in his many fields of expertise...
They both did a great job of this seminar despise that horrible background music/noise that hindered them.
Well done and thank you for posting this ..
