We explain how motivic categories with reasonable properties for arbitrary schemes can be constructed. A crucial property used for the construction is base change for a motivic Eilenberg-MacLane spectrum over Dedekind rings.

There is no scientific controversy over whether evolution is right and creationism is wrong. But do you know the scientific arguments for evolution? This evening, geneticist and popular science author Steve Jones will tell you "Why evolution is right and creationism is wrong". Even though there is no scientific controversy, this topic is still controversial. Eugenie C. Scott, the executive director of the National Center for Science Education (NCSE, USA) since 1987, will talk about why that is - and why we still need to defend evolution and other sciences in the classrooms - and elswhere.
Jan Fredrik Bjørnstad (SSB and Department of Mathematics, UiO) will talk about
Extended likelihood approach to large-scale multiple testing
This year at the annual Kristine Bonnevie lectures, the geneticist and popular science author Steve Jones from University College London will tell you "What sex really means". Eugenie C.

The Kristine Bonnevie lecture on evolutionary biology is part of the University’s annual celebration.
