Richard Dawkins, one of the most respected scientists and thinkers of our time, has announced a second Dublin show as part of his Irish tour this November. The newly added event will take place at The Helix in Dublin on November 15th, with an additional show on November 16th, 2024. He will also be appearing at Ulster Hall in Belfast on Sunday, November 17th, 2024.
The world-renowned evolutionary biologist and best-selling author of such landmark books as The Selfish Gene, The God Delusion and Unweaving The Rainbow has earned millions of admirers through his passion for the wonders of science and the vital importance of reason.
Renowned for his unapologetic advocacy of science and reason, Dawkins is celebrated for groundbreaking work that captivates millions with his passion for scientific inquiry.
In his new tour – which begins in the USA in September, before heading to the UK and Europe – Dawkins and several special guests will connect with audiences in unscripted conversations touching on topics from science to religion, life on earth and beyond.
Audiences will hear first-hand about forthcoming book – The Genetic Book of the Dead out 10th October 2024– in which Dawkins delves into the transformative potential of DNA in our understanding of evolution.
Speaking about the newly added Dublin show Dawkins says "I shall be spending most of October and November, in Europe and UK, speaking in ten different cities from Oxford to Belfast. I am 83 years old, and travel is more irksome than it was. The maxim, “Quit while you’re ahead” has recently received a welcome boost, and I anticipate that this will be my last EU/UK tour. My swansong. My final bow. There’ll be a Q & A at every event. And I’ll be signing any or all of my 19 books, including The Genetic Book of the Dead, which will be just published. This will probably be your last opportunity to tell me how profoundly you disagree with everything I’ve written and said. Or the reverse if that is the case. Either way, I look forward to seeing you."
So don't miss the opportunity to be part of this enlightening experience delivered with this legendary scientist’s trademark honesty and wit.
