    This is very short notice: posters only went up this morning. Prof. Steven Weinberg is speaking at UCD, 3PM today on the topic "The Art of Science and the Craft of Art". I know it's the Arts building, not sure which lecture theatre (M?), but there are posters up in the area.

    After speaking to a couple of people here, I get the impression that he might be in for a few snotty questions from the audience; not about his atheism, but about his public support for Israel. If I find he's doing any other events here in Ireland, I'll post about them too, unless someone beats me to it.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    If anyone tried to find Theatre A in the Arts building, like I did - my apologies, it was in the Science Hub, not Arts. That was more appropriate for a speech by an eminent physicist and Nobel laureate. Then it was moved next door to B, because there was another lecture already on. Not that it started on time anyway - very little at UCD does - so there was time to find the place. I've just found out that it was mentioned in the Irish Times today, too.

    Anyway - a good talk, though not really relevant to this forum, I suppose. He's also taking part in a debate at Trinity College on Wednesday, though I can't locate any details at the moment.
