Joan Roughgarden is a professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Stanford and teaches geophysics as well as a mathematical ecology. In her book, Evolution's Rainbow: Diversity, Gender, and Sexuality in Nature and People, she challenges Darwin's theories and promotes a diversity-affirming model of biology and evolution. Her most recent work, Evolution and Christian Faith: Reflections of an Evolutionary Biologist, reflects on the relationship between science and religion.

I urge you to check out The Science Network's site as it has more information about this and many other interesting subjects. They hold the copyright on this material (to my knowledge) and if they should want me to remove this, I will comply. In my defense, I just wanted to get this information out to as many people as possible.
Her apologist attitude has shown time and time again to be directly incompatible with both atheists and theists. She brings nothing to the table, absolutely nothing.

She's right about scientific dogmatism, but the fact remains that the majority of scientists will change their mind when confronted with enough evidence, no matter how much they had emotionally invested in the prevailing theory.

@mystisme I don't think she's boring. She's obviously not very comfortable with public speaking, but she made some very good points in my opinion.
