1. We will be sponsoring a number of parties and social events in honor of PZ's visit to Toronto. Watch this blog for more information as the date approaches. We may even invite PZ to some of the events so you can meet him in person. He's actually a pretty nice guy when you get to know him.

2. Here's what PZ says about this talk as he leaves for Denver, "I'm going to gargle some tabasco before giving it, because this one needs to contain some bile and pepper, sorry to say. I'm going to say exactly what's wrong with the state of science education today, and it's all those weasely suck-ups who make excuses for religious idiocy. Anyway, if you can't make the talk, now you know what I'm going to say. It should be fun. It's OK if people argue with me, too. I expect people to fight back."
