Dr. Eugenie Scott, Executive Director of National Center for Science Education, gave a public lecture on “Why all the fuss about Darwin and Evolution?” on the campus of California State University, Fresno, on December 2, 2009. The event was sponsored by the Consortium for Evolutionary Studies. The above slide+audio podcast contains the entire lecture, which you are welcome to listen to here. Dr. Scott kindly provided us with the powerpoint slides from her talk, which were synchronized with audio recorded by Madhusudan Katti to produce this podcast.

Scott Hatfield, a member of the consortium and local schoolteacher, also recorded most of the lecture on video, and has uploaded it to YouTube in the following 6 parts:
