Sean Carroll's Webcast Around the World<br>
8pm New York time<br>
----------------------------<br>
<br>
Sean Carroll, one of the great working scientists, will deliver <br>
a Reading Odyssey lecture for our Darwin150 campaign tonight, <br>
Wednesday, November 4 at 8pm New York time.<br>
<br>
His lecture - "Making of the Fittest: Natural Selection and the <br>
DNA Record of Evolution" - is free and you can register to watch <br>
via webcast here:<br>
<a href="http://DarwinLecture3.eventbrite.com">http://DarwinLecture3.eventbrite.com</a><br>
<br>
This webcast marks a milestone for the Reading Odyssey.<br>
<br>
Why?<br>
<br>
We have set up remote viewing of the lecture all over the world.<br>
<br>
>From India to Mexico, from Spain to Canada, from Germany to <br>
Argentina, and across these United States, people will <br>
be watching Sean Carroll together. <br>
<br>
Want to see a sample of the many places watching tonight?<br>
http://tinyurl.com/Lecture3network<br>
<br>
How were we able to do this?<br>
<br>
Talented volunteers and sponsors made it happen.<br>
<br>
These volunteers and sponsors support the mission of the <br>
Reading Odyssey to help adults play with and reignite our <br>
curiosity about great books, ideas, art and science.<br>
<br>
One of the most important and talented of the volunteers is <br>
Professor Sean Carroll himself.<br>
<br>
A finalist for the 2009 National Book Award, Sean Carroll is <br>
both a great scientist - a pioneer in evolutionary developmental<br>
biology - and a teacher passionate about making the beauty and<br>
power of evolution accessible to people worldwide.<br>
<br>
His book, "Endless Forms Most Beautiful", inspired my own<br>
exploration of evolutionary biology and was influential in<br>
shaping the origins of the Reading Odyssey. His current book,<br>
"Remarkable Creatures" is, in a word, remarkable.<br>
<br>
He's a real hero of mine and I'm honored that he has volunteered<br>
to give a live lecture straight from the Ebling Symposium Center <br>
in the Microbial Sciences Building at the University of <br>
Wisconsin.<br>
<br>
Join us tonight at 8pm New York, 7pm Central.<br>

Slow Art 2009 - a success<br>
---------------------------- <br>
<br>
Our first Slow Art experiment in October 2009 led to *16* Slow<br>
Art events around the world.<br>
<br>
It was successful. Attendees loved the experience of looking<br>
at a few pieces of art for 10 minutes or more.<br>
<br>
See the testimonials from Slow Art 2009 here:<br>

ABOUT READING ODYSSEY<br>
Reading Odyssey is a nonprofit (in the process of applying<br>
for 501c(3) status) dedicated to helping adults play with culture.<br>
<br>
We aim to help adults engage their intellectual curiosity -<br>
and create conversations that provoke us to think and to see<br>
in new ways.<br>
<br>
Reading Odyssey hosts small tutorials and large lecture series.<br>
<br>
We run Slow Art and the Darwin150 campaign - the latter with <br>
over 250,000 members on Facebook. We are currently in the early <br>
planning stages for both Slow Art 2010 and also a major<br>
two-year celebration of the 2,500 year anniversary of the Battle<br>
of Marathon (the anniversary is September 2011).<br>
<br>
VOLUNTEER?<br>
Would you like to help volunteer behind the scenes?<br>
<br>
We need LOTS of help - technical assistance (we want to build<br>
a new website and are looking for an individual or a firm to<br>
donate their services), promotional assistance, and help building<br>
our grassroots network of individuals, colleges, universities,<br>
high schools and so on.<br>
<br>
