On July 9, 2007 I played "Dimbleby" to a debate in the Great Hall of the Natural History
Museum.
We'd invited Richard Dawkins, Steve Jones and Lewis Wolpert. (Richard did the foreword for
my
first book, Steve suggested I use his literary agent when I was writing Digital
Biology-
which I did, and Lewis collaborated with one of my PhD students). It was great fun, with our
voices echoing out and reaching the ears of 600 people in the audience. The topic was
evolution
of compexity, and we covered a good range of topics. The occasion formed the keynote
event for
the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference that I helped run at UCL at the same
time.
You can still download the audio or video of the whole event from here: http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/st
