This year’s Darwin Day celebration features three main events: a keynote address, evolutionary themed video screenings, and a teacher development workshop.

In addition to his distinguished research career in evolutionary biology, Dr. Pigliucci is the co-host of the Rationally Speaking Podcast and editor in chief for the online magazine Scientia Salon. His keynote address is called “Pseudoscience: Why Bother?” Other events include video screenings for three episodes of Neil Shubin’s PBS series “Your Inner Fish” and a teacher development workshop to provide teachers with activities about evolutionary biology to share with their classes.
