My Life In Science
Voted by Prospect Magazine as the World's Top Thinker, Richard Dawkins is a pioneering scientist and public thinker who is famous, and infamous to some, around the world.
Dawkins was bound to have biology in his genes: he was born to parents who were enthusiastic naturalists, and linked through his wider family to a clutch of accomplished scientists. But what are the influences that have shaped his life and intellectual development? Who and what inspires him?
This promises to be a fascinating evening in which Richard Dawkins will discuss his memoir Brief Candle in the Dark, following the threads that have run through his life so far and homing in on the key individuals, institutions and ideas that have inspired and motivated him.
