Hawking is Steve #300
Project Steve continues apace, with the 305th Steve coming on board today. Like their predecessors, the 85 Steves to join since the initial announcement of Project Steve are a distinguished group whose public support for evolution education we are honored to be able to announce. The 300th signatory to NCSE’s Project Steve shares a unique distinction with Stephen Jay Gould: that of appearing on The Simpsons. I refer, of course, to Steve #300, the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University, Stephen W. Hawking. For the current list of Steves as well as links to the media coverage -- recent articles have appeared in Scientific American, American Scientist, and the Geological Society’s Media Monitor -- please see the Project Steve page of the NCSE web site.
