9:00 Plenary Keynote Presentation: Height and Intelligence: Exploring the Complexity and Controversy of Heredity
Carl Zimmer
Award-winning Science Writer; Columnist, New York Times; Author of She Has Her Mother’s Laugh (coming May 2018)
Heredity has long been one of the foundations of society–but also the justification for some of the worst crimes in history. It has only been in the past century that scientists have begun to work out some of its molecular details. But the mysteries and controversies over heredity have proved remarkably durable. In my talk, I’ll explore the history and current research into heredity of two traits–height and intelligence. They may seem at first to be polar opposites, but it turns out they actually share some remarkable similarities.
Carl Zimmer is the author of 13 books about science. His newest book is She Has Her Mother’s Laugh: The Power, Perversions, and Potential of Heredity. His column, “Matter,” appears each week in the New York Times. Zimmer’s writing has earned a number of awards, including the 2016 Stephen Jay Gould Prize, awarded by the Society for the Study of Evolution to recognize individuals whose sustained efforts have advanced public understanding of evolutionary science. In 2017, he won an Online Journalism Award for his series of articles in which he explored his genome. A professor adjunct at Yale University, Zimmer is a familiar voice on programs such as Radiolab. He lives in Connecticut with his wife Grace and their children, Charlotte and Veronica. He is, to his knowledge, the only writer after whom a species of tapeworm has been named.
