Our program will run from 11 am to 12:30 pm. You can join in to the meeting starting at 10:30 am for our open social. After 12:30 pm, we will also have an extended discussion for half an hour, until 1:00 pm.
Humanists and atheists often say that they “believe in evolution”; however, they find it hard to describe how the intricate machinery of our cells and our physiology arose from primordial organic ooze, or how complex animals with many coordinated parts evolved out of single cells.
In his presentation, our featured speaker, Dr. Mark Reimers, will describe some recent discoveries in biology that have given us some insight into how these complex systems evolved. He will describe how the complex internal signaling processes in our cells arose, and how the coordinated interactions between our bodily systems were formed, all by blind evolutionary processes.
Dr. Mark Reimers is a quantitative neuroscientist at Michigan State University working to elucidate how dynamic brain activities give rise to mental functions and moods. Dr. Reimers has worked at the US National Institutes of Health, the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, and at the Virginia Institute for Psychiatric and Behavioral Genetics.
