Thursday 23 February Studium Generale, Arminius and Bookstore Van Gennep welcome British writer and scientist Redmond O’Hanlon. During the lecture O'Hanlon will take us to the fascinating basis of flora and fauna. The eccentric Briton will be accompanied by Kees Moeliker, who studies the evolution on micro level at the Heemraadssingel or the Maasvlakte on a daily basis.
He is adventurer, writer of travel books, scientist and Darwin specialist. But most people know him from successful Dutch television programmes like 'The Beagle' and 'O'Hanlon's Heroes'. On 23 February he will finally visit Rotterdam, where he will be talking to writer Alexander Reeuwijk about his ideas about the evolution, his heroes and their recently published book 'Darwin, Wallace and the others'.
In his own style he will take us to the fascinating basis of Flora and Fauna. Not during a boring lecture, but interspersed with lively examples and absurd anecdotes. The eccentric Brit will be accompanied by Kees Moeliker, who studies the evolution on micro level at the Heemraadssingel or the Maasvlakte on a daily basis.
An evening not to miss out on, whether you know O'Hanlon from his books, his scientific studies or his television shows.
