<div align="center"><b>Dr. David Page</b></div>
<div align="center"><b><br></b></div>
<div align="center"><b>"The Evolution of Sex: Rethinking the
Rotting Y Chromosome"</b></div>
<div align="center"><br></div>
<div align="center">David Page's research provides new insights into
the future of the Y Chromosome, and gives new hope that the Y
Chromosome is not a "genetic wasteland" but is really quite
resilient. Page's delivery on this topic is simultaneously serious and
humorous, educational and entertaining, in short, a must-see lecture
on a very compelling topic. Page, a former MacArthur Foundation
Prize Fellow, is Associate Director of Science at the Whitehead
Institute and Professor of Biology at MIT. </div>
