I just returned from dinner with Dick Burian, his wife Ann, Bob Richardson and his wife Peggy DesAutels, Rob Skipper and his wife Karen, and fellow grad student Clement Loo. Burian is visiting speaker this week as a part of the Philosophy and Evolutionary Biology class nicknamed "Darwiniana." It was a lovely dinner at Aqua in Mt. Lookout. Sushi was fantastic and may I suggest the sake-tini (a martini with sake, cucumber, and vodka)? As always I get tips on what else I need to read. This time it was about philosophy of experiment, exploratory experiments and funding and the new experimentalists.
I forgot to blog about the previous dinners I attended with Mike Dietrich at JeanRo Bistro downtown and Roberta Millstein (earlier in the quarter) at Tinks in the gaslight district. They, too, were part of the Darwiniana course. I've had such great opportunities this quarter to meet and have extended conversations with such respected philosophers of biology.
