I found out a couple of weeks ago, but failed to say anything on this thread. It turns out that the actual member has to go, and can invite a guest or
guests. As it was my grandfather who was going to let me use his membership card to get into the dinner, but cannot go himself, I'm not going to have
this opportunity
That's not going to stop me from trying to find someone to interview, though. Turn your adversity into opportunity, no? I'll keep y'all updated on
getting an interview with someone important in a field that works extensivly with evolutionary theory. If anyone knows of someone in the Chicago area
who may be interested in doing such an interview, let me know. Otherwise, I'll look into it myself.
