As I walked into the auditorium I noticed almost every seat was filled so I figured this speaker must be great. I forgot what type of lecture this was but i quickly realized it was something unusual because the first words out of Dr.Judson's mouth were " Hello my fellow primates". For some I'm sure listening about Darwin's life and his accomplishments might be interesting but not for me. Most of the humorous scientific jokes flew right over my head. With a quick look to my left I could tell that my friend Carrie was feeling the same way. Olivia was born in the UK and she earned her biology degree from Stanford University. She is a freelance science writer and is currently being recognized for her book Dr.Tatiana's Sex Advice to all Creation- The Definitive Guide to the Evolutionary Biology of Sex. This award winning book has been turned into a television show that aired in Australia, the UK and Canada back in 2005. Richard Dawkins, a World-famous evolutionary biologist describes the book as a "winningly sophisticated zoological comedy.". Olivia was a great speaker and you could really see her light up as she talked about evolution. Everybody has a different passion, I'm just glad mine isn't science.
