What are you doing for Darwin’s 200th birthday?

That’s February 12th, 2009.

I’m going to the AAAS Annual Meeting in Chicago! Yay!

I love the AAAS Annual Meetings. (That’s the American Association for the Advancement of Science, for you non-nerds.) I attended the meetings in 2006 and 2007, and they influenced me a great deal, both personally and professionally. I think general scientific meetings are wonderful, mind-expanding, inspiring, and fun. I wasn’t planning on going this year, but I simply couldn’t resist when I saw that it fell on Darwin’s birthday and the theme of the meeting is evolution.

I’m staying in Chicago for a few extra days after the meeting to see friends and experience civilization. I would love to meet up with some fellow atheists there. If anyone is going to be there, and/or knows of any atheist gatherings in Chicago that week, let me know.
