Just bought tickets to see Richard Dawkins in Brisbane in 2023!🥳I am so excited to finally hear him speak live! For those who don't know, Richard's work is responsible for my #Atheist awakening after being raised Catholic, and my subsequent obsession with #biology & #evolution

It’s my goal to be able to fall asleep this quickly 😴🦉
