I just learned from a post on PACFS that the Randy Olson documentary Flock of Dodos: the Evolution-Intelligent Design Circus will be shown on Showtime on May 17 at 8:30 PM EST.

Randy Olson received a PhD in Biology from Harvard University in 1984, contributed a well-respected body of research to the fields of ecology, evolution and marine biology, and received tenure in 1992 at the University of New Hampshire. But then he realized he liked making films more, and so while on leave at UNH, Olson enrolled in film school at the University of Southern California.

He has since made a number of films that explore the interface between science and the public, all with humor and, as many reviewers point out, a fair amount of “irreverence.” Read more about Randy Olson in this New York Times article published a year ago today.
