It's my honor to welcome Dr. Gatsat here to Iceland in collaboration with great people

that have made this possible and everybody here in the audience. Some people tried to cancel us.

And to the credit of Harpa, they were able to resist those attempts.

And so here we are, we're sold out, and it's a success, and we'll see later.

He is a professor at Concordia and a visiting professor at Northwood University.

His field is behavioral science and evolutionary biology applied to behavioral science.

And there's so much interesting in that which many of us have found

on the internet but we'll now see him face to face and through that because he's

he knows things he bases things on science he has noticed some strange things in academia first, but then also in the mainstream discussion,

which he has opposed.

And of course, these certain people being the way they are, they cannot imagine someone
