(Thanks to Tom Uytterhoeven for pointing me to this film and to the (Dutch) blog which features the film: http://xyofeinstein.wordpress.com/2012/09/24/en-nog-een-veel-beter-mediawijsheidsfilmpje-wat-weet-deze-gedachtelezer-over-jou/.)


Recently, Richard Dawkins visited the Dutch university of Groningen for a public lecture. It was a major event, where eventually students sold (originally free) tickets for quite some money on the black market. Anyway, science journalist René Fransen, who works for the Groningen Universiteitskrant as well as for the Nederlands Dagblad did not get the chance to interview Dawkins. Instead, he asked scientists working at Groningen University what their opinion was about Richard Dawkins. I expected them to be enthusiastic about Dawkins’ qualities as a science popularizer. What I did not so much expect was the outright criticism of the scientists when it comes to Dawkins’ crusade against religion. Quite interesting.
