The Philosopher's Gene

This coming Sunday, December 13, we will host Dr. David Harker, Asst. Professor of Philosophy at ETSU. Dr. Harker will speak on a comprehensible view of the gene, the fundamental functional unit of heredity.
Dr. Harker joined the ETSU faculty in 2006 following his doctorate at the University of Illinois in Chicago, and a tour as a Visiting Scholar at the Centre for the Philosophy of Natural and Social Sciences at the London School of Economics. He has recently published in the British Journal for the Philosophy of Science. Dr Harker's expertise is in the philosophy of science and biology and he teaches university courses on those topics.
Dr Harker spoke to our group last year and we are pleased that he agree to a return visit. Please join us for what promises to be a thoughtful presentation and discussion on a non-biologist's view of the gene. You'll be very welcome, and as always, excellent childcare is provided.
