Hey volunteers and campus network representatives,

I hope you had a chance to listen live to Professor Jonathan Weiner's  
lecture last night "On Variation." It was a great talk.

I have two things to ask:

1. Promote the podcast
Below my signature is an e-mail you can send out to your friends,  
campus network, put up on Facebook, Twitter about - it's an invitation  
to listen to the podcast from the lecture.

2. Vote on a team conference call date/time
We are in the final six weeks of our campaign. As we get closer to  
November 24, there will be more activity in terms of growth of the  
Facebook page as well as folks registering for our Sean Carroll and  
E.O. Wilson lectures.

I'd like to get together a conference call for the volunteers and  
members of the campus/museum network. In the call, we'll review and  
share what we are doing and what needs to be done.

Please vote here on the dates for the call that would work best for you:

Thanks so much!

Subject: Podcast from Darwin150 lecture 2: "On Variation"?

We had a great lecture last night live from Columbia University by  
Professor Jonathan Weiner - and I'd like to encourage you to download  
and listen to the podcast.
His talk - "On Variation" - was the second lecture of our five-part  
Darwin150 lecture series. Professor Weiner won a Pulitzer Prize for  
his wonderful book, "Beak of the Finch", which shows evolution - and  
specifically variation - in action among "Darwin's finches" in the  
Galapagos Islands (and details the multi-decade work of Princeton  
biologists Peter and Rosemary Grant).

You can listen to the podcast from the lecture here:

Thanks!
