RSR's Report on the 50th Anniversary of the Wistar Conference

* Wistar Conference 50th Anniversary Report: (For seven minutes prior to the Wistar report, Bob Enyart interviews a writer for Monday's film Climate Hustle.) Fifty years ago this week in Philadelphia on the University of Pennsylvania campus dozens of the world’s most expert minds in mathematics and engineering meet for the Wistar Conference. These were professors from MIT and Harvard who invited their colleagues from their own universities and elsewhere, and especially the biology professors. They met to question, mathematically, whether or not Darwinian evolution were even possible. Bob Enyart reports on the meeting from a half-century ago and updates the argument with the latest findings from molecular biology!
