Please join ISCID (from the comfort of your own homes) on Tuesday April 15th
at 8pm Eastern for a one hour online chat with biochemist Michael
Denton. The
discussion will center around Denton's most recent publication in the _Journal
of Theoretical Biology_ entitled "The Protein Folds as Platonic Forms:
New Support for the Pre-Darwinian Conception of Evolution by Natural Law." The
chat is free and open to the internet public.
Michael Denton is Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Biochemistry
at the University of Otago in New Zealand. His primary research focus is on
the molecular genetics of retinitis pigmentosa. Denton is well known for his
two influential books Evolution: A theory in Crisis and Nature's Destiny. His
most recent work considers whether organic forms (protein, RNA folds, Microtubular
forms, tensegrity structures, cells forms, bodyplans) are intrinsic features
of nature and essentially the same as chemicals or molecules.
