[Bgsa] chance to meet with famous human evolution scientist on Thursday, 3:30-4:30

[Carla Essenberg]

Hello Everyone,

Our seminar speaker this week is Tim D. White (not our chancellor),
who studies human evolution and has made some important discoveries in
that field recently.  If you're interested in that subject at all, he
would be a great person to talk with.  So, instead of coffee half-hour
this week, Kim Hammond has scheduled Dr. White to meet with graduate
students from 3:30 to 4:30 (the seminar will be at 5:30 rather than
the usual time) in the Moore Room.  I'll bring some snacks and we can
have coffee and tea also if anyone wants it.  Please let me know if
you might be interested in coming (just so we can have an idea how
many people are going to come).

I may have more information on Tim White to send later, but in the
meantime, here is a link to his website:

Also see the stuff Kim says about him below.

Cheers,

Carla

HI Carla,
As you know this weeks seminar will be given by Tim White and will be
the Science as a Way of Knowing Seminar AND will be at 5:30-7...
rather than the normal time.

Tim White is an alumni of UCR and has been the person who has recently
been in the news for his discovery of ARDI (the potential missing
link).   He was the researcher of a the year for Science Magazine.

We want to give the EEOB a chance to meet with him this week so it
seems like the best time would be from 3:30-4:30pm on Thursday since
that is the normal time and there probably is less chance of overlaps.
 Do you think you could advertise this to your flock????  I know it
will be a group meeting but I think that may actually stimulate more
discussion.

Let me know if this works... I am scheduling the room right now.

Thanks,
Kim
