Rick Prum @ Nicola's Books

Hi all,

Rick Prum sent along this news (below) about a talk he will be giving at Nicola's Books in May for his new book "The Evolution of Beauty." Rick received his PhD in Biological Sciences from Michigan in 1989 and is now a Professor in EEB at Yale and the Bird Curator at the Peabody Museum of Natural History (http://prumlab.yale.edu/). He has made tremendous contributions to ornithology and evolutionary biology.
