As a child, David Hillis loved to find new animals in the jungles of Belgian Congo. Having failed to grow up, he now studies the evolution of life and applies this avocation in unusual ways, from murder cases to new technology for health care. He also raises Texas Longhorn cattle at his Double Helix Ranch.

30 April - 2 May 2020

Our team has been working hard behind the scenes to bring you a superb program for EG2020. However, in light of growing and legitimate concerns regarding the rapid spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) which have gutted international events of all sizes, we have made the difficult decision to put EG on hiatus until it is once again deemed safe.

We know how much each of you look forward to EG and we were looking forward to seeing old friends, and welcoming many new ones, but we do need to prioritize the health and safety of our attendees, presenters, and partners, especially those traveling from afar.
We will be in touch in due course with future plans.
