Next Friday (August 31) I have the honor of taking part in the Kristine Bonnevie Lecture, an annual lecture held at the University of Oslo to honor the first female professor in Norway. I’ll be speaking along with Cori Bargmann of Rockefeller University, who has done hugely important research on the links between the anatomy of the brain and how animals behave. Details are here.
On Saturday (September 1) I’ll be giving a public lecture about A Planet of Viruses A Planet of Viruses at Oslo’s House of Literature (Litteraturhuset). Details are here.
If there are any Loom-readers in Norway (perhaps a few?), I hope to see you in Oslo.
