Yeah, I'm Michael Brown, President of School for Advanced Research, and it's my great pleasure to welcome you to this twenty twenty-two President's Lecture featuring writer and historian Dan Flores drawing on his new book, Wild New World, which was just, by the way, named best book or on the best book list of Kirkus Reviews, one of the industry's most important publications.

Tonight's presentation will include selected readings and a presentation by Dan, followed by a discussion between, uh, historian Sara Dant and Dan, with questions submitted from the audience as well as ones that Sarah will pose to Dan.

The program will end with a final reading by Dan.
