Celebrate Darwin’s birthday by joining us for our annual Darwin Day Lecture!
While some people choose to learn about evolution through coursework, a large number of people could be interested in the subject if brought to them wrapped in another subject in which they are already engaged. In this talk, Professor Noor introduces evolutionary concepts, thinking, and approaches framed using depictions from the Star Trek television franchise.
This program is offered in partnership with the Carolina Biodiversity Collaborative.
