Details
For our June meetup we are excited to welcome evolutionary biologist Professor Rob Brooks. Rob will give us an evolutionary perspective on decision making in a presentation on The Price of Sex.
Rob is Professor of Evolution and Director of the Evolution & Ecology Research Centre at the University of New South Wales. Rob is a fantastic communicator of science, and in 2013 he won a Eureka Prize for Promoting Understanding of Australian Science Research.
He has published an award winning book Sex, Genes & Rock ‘n’ Roll: How Evolution has Shaped the Modern World (http://www.amazon.com/Sex-Genes-Rock-Roll-ebook/dp/B007NLRUIY) (well worth reading) and you can check out more of his writing at The Conversation (http://theconversation.edu.au/columns/rob-brooks-1343), on his blog (http://www.robbrooks.net/) or on Twitter (https://twitter.com/brooks_rob).
Please RSVP if you can make it. We hope to see you all there.
