SUMMARY:University of Delaware Darwin Day February 15-16\, 2023
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday February 15\, 2023 Morris Library 4:30 PM\nPop Goes the Beagle: Darwin for Children\nMargaret Stetz\nMae & Robert Carter Professor Women and Gender Studies; and\, Professor of Humanities University of Delaware\nScience is increasingly being politicized and scientists themselves demonized. Meanwhile\, what children learn in classrooms and in libraries is also under hostile scrutiny. This talk will bring together the subjects of Darwin and education. Through a survey of recent British and American books for young readers\, many of them illustrated\, we will consider what authors are teaching children about Darwin’s life\, voyages\, discoveries\, theories and\, more generally\, about the role of science in the past and present. \nWednesday February 15\, 2023 Morris Library 4:30 PM\nPop Goes the Beagle: Darwin for Children\nMargaret Stetz\nMae & Robert Carter Professor Women and Gender Studies; and\, Professor of Humanities University of Delaware\nScience is increasingly being politicized and scientists themselves demonized.

SUMMARY:Darwin Day 2023: Collezioni\, Tassonomia\, Evoluzione
DESCRIPTION:Dalla morfologia alla genomica: il ruolo delle collezioni museali nello studio dell’evoluzione ieri\, oggi e domani.\nIl Museo di Storia Naturale di Ferrara e il Dipartimento di Scienze della Vita e Biotecnologie dell’Università di Ferrara\, in collaborazione con l’Associazione Didattica Didò e con il patrocinio dell’Associazione Nazionale Musei Scientifici (ANMS) e della Società Italiana di Biologia Evoluzionistica (SIBE)\, presentano\nla sedicesima edizione del Darwin Day Ferrara. Il tema conduttore di quest’anno è centrato sull’importanza delle collezioni di piante e animali per lo studio dell’evoluzione delle specie. I campioni museali forniscono informazioni sul presente e sul passato\, e permettono di ricostruire i cambiamenti\, gli adattamenti\, le estinzioni. Sono anche fondamentali per la tassonomia\, la scienza che definisce i criteri per l’identificazione e le classificazione delle specie\, contribuendo allo sviluppo di strategie di salvaguardia e conservazione degli animali e delle piante in pericolo di estinzione. Dalle collezioni si estraggono dati morfologici ma anche genetici\, a partire dal DNA barcode fino ad arrivare ad una nuova disciplina che studia i genomi estratti dai reperti museali\, la museomica. Ma ogni studio tassonomico ed evolutivo richiede sempre approfondimenti sistematici basati anche sulle caratteristiche morfologiche dei reperti.

SUMMARY:Darwin Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:The Tampa Bay Coalition of Reason\nwill present\nDarwin Day 2023\non Saturday\, February 18\,\nbeginning at 2:00 p.m. \nThis will be an in-person event at the Unitarian Universalists of Clearwater at 2470 Nursery Rd.\, as well as online via Zoom. \nTickets for the presentation are available at https://www.atheistsofflorida.org/darwin-day-2023/. \nWe are very pleased to present two outstanding speakers: \nBertha Vazquez is director of education for the Center  for Inquiry\, director of the Teacher Institute for Evolutionary Science (TIES)\, a program of the Center for Inquiry and a project of the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science. Since its inception in April 2015\, TIES has presented over 300 professional development opportunities for middle school science teachers across the country\, providing them with free resources to effectively teach their state evolution standards in their classrooms. In December of 2021\, Bertha and fifteen fellow TIES presenters\, published a book titled On Teaching Evolution. \nRyan Cragun is a Professor of Sociology at the University of Tampa and Director of its Honors Program. He is the author of numerous academic papers and ten books\, most of which report on his research on religion and its rapidly evolving impact on society. Ryan is a good friend of the Coalition of Reason and has spoken to our group several times. For more detail on his work\, go to his website: https://www.ryantcragun.com. \nThe title of Dr. Cragun’ s presentation is: Evolution and Religion: Natural Exploits and Artificial Selection. \nA brief summary:\nThere are at least two ways to think about evolution and religion. First\, have humans evolved in a fashion that fosters religiosity? Second\, have religions evolved over time? In this far-reaching talk\, I’ll examine both questions\, drawing on recent research in social science to address whether humans are “innately religious” and whether religions evolve.
