Richard Dawkins in Conversation with Jim Al-Khalili

Richard Dawkins FRS was Oxford’s inaugural Professor of Public Understanding of Science, retiring in 2008. His latest book, Science in the Soul formed the basis of his talk at bluedot 2018, in conversation with academic physicist, author and broadcaster Jim Al-Khalili. The book is a collection of essays ranging from comic parodies of PG Wodehouse to serious discussions of the future, of evolutionary biology, and the role of science in society.
