He is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, selected &#8220;for fundamental studies of genotype by environmental interactions and for public defense of evolutionary biology from pseudoscientific attack.&#8221;  Massimo is also an atheist, and has published articles in Skeptical Enquirer, Philosophy Now, The Philosopher&#8217;s Magazine and American Atheist Magazine.<\/p>\n<p>Greg Laden, who has been a frequent and popular guest on &#8220;Atheists Talk,&#8221; is an evolutionary anthropologist, and adviser and instructor at the University of Minnesota, and a blogger.  On Sunday Greg turns the tables and does the interviewing, talking to Massimo about Ken Miller and the role of God in tweaking the genome at strategic moments; whether or not man is some sort of elevated creature as according to biologists who should know better and the role of pseudoscience in weakening the public&#8217;s understanding of evolution.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"inset\" alt=\"image.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/scienceblogs.com\/gregladen\/images\/bumper sticker-static cling.JPG\" width=\"345\"\/>&#8220;<strong>Atheists Talk<\/strong>&#8221; airs live on AM 950 KTNF in the Minneapolis\/St. Paul area.<\/p>\n<p>To stream live, go <a href=\"http:\/\/www.am950ktnf.com\/listen\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Podcasts of past shows are available at <a href=\"http:\/\/minnesotaatheists.org\/\">Minnesota Atheists<\/a> or<br \/>\nthrough iTunes.
