The Biology & Psychology departments will celebrate Darwin Day with science-themed activities – we’d love to have you join us! Darwin Day honors scientific inquiry, persistence, and curiosity. Held every February 12th – marking the birth of Charles Darwin on that day in 1809 – universities and scientific communities around the world commemorate the impact of Darwin’s work, celebrate the interaction of scientific disciplines, and encourage and inspire everyone to get involved in science.

  • Explore plant and animal specimens from our natural science collections
  • Learn about the evolution of plants, animals, and language
  • Play a natural selection game
  • Ask real-live biologists and psychologists your questions
  • Enjoy a slice of cake for Darwin’s birthday
  • Pick up some free science-themed Valentine’s Day cards, Darwin buttons and Darwin stickers
