The Library is proud to present a lecture by award-winning science fiction author and alumnus Greg Bear on Wednesday, November 18th at 2pm in LL430. As part of the Library's ongoing celebration of Darwin anniversaries, Bear will give a lecture entitled, "What Would Darwin Do? Fundamentalism in Science and Religion Versus the Search for Scientific Truth."
Bear is a 1973 graduate of SDSU and the author of more than 30 novels and 26 short stories. He is the winner of two Hugo Awards and five Nebula Awards. His highly-acclaimed books Darwin's Radio and Darwin's Children deal with accelerated evolution and its consequences; Bear has been widely praised for his adherence to scientific fact in his crafting of science fiction. Special Collections already holds a collection of Bear's manuscripts and papers, as well as first editions of all Bear's books in our Elizabeth Chater Science Fiction Collection.
Please join us for what will surely be an exciting talk by Greg! The lecture is free and open to the public. For more information, please contact us at 619.594.6791.
