SUMMARY:Darwin Day at Arkansas State University
DESCRIPTION:The third annual Darwin Day series of events will take place at Arkansas State University from Saturday\, Feb. 8\, through Friday\, Feb. 14. \n“Our theme this year is biodiversity and we have several events that focus on biodiversity in Arkansas and around the world\,” said Dr. Drew Sweet\, assistant professor of evolutionary biology. \nAn anthotypes workshop will be held from 2 until 5 p.m.\, Saturday\, Feb. 8\, in partnership with Bradbury Art Museum\, located inside Fowler Center. Registration is required at bradburyartmuseum.org/event/anthotypes. \nAn anthotype is made by using crushed plant material and using the color from the pulp to create a print on physical objects. \nFrom Monday\, Feb. 10\, through Saturday\, Feb. 22\, there will be an exhibit at the A-State Museum\, adjacent to the Dean B. Ellis Library\, called “The Grandeur of Life: Artistic Depictions of the Natural State.” This exhibit will feature artistic depictions of nature submitted by A-State students\, faculty and staff. \nFrom 4 until 5 p.m. on Wednesday\, Feb. 12\, a panel discussion will be held in the A-State Museum\, room 157. The topic will be “Endless Forms Most Beautiful: Looking at Evolution from Perspectives Within the Sciences and Liberal Arts.” This discussion will focus on variation and change and will feature faculty from different fields. \nA presentation will take place in the A-State Museum auditorium from 5 until 6 p.m. on Thursday\, Feb. 13. This presentation\, “Darwin\, Biodiversity\, Evolution\, Speciation\, Collections\, and Open Data\,” will feature Dr. John Bates\, curator of birds at the Field Museum in Chicago. \n“Bates will talk about the importance of museums and conservation for preserving and understanding biodiversity. He has traveled around the world to learn about biodiversity. The audience can expect an engaging presentation from a world-renowned ornithologist from one of the world’s largest natural history museums\,” Sweet added. \nFrom noon until 1 p.m. on Friday\, Feb. 14\, Bates will present an academic talk in the Arkansas Biosciences Institute regarding his research on biodiversity. \nBAM is located at 201 Olympic Drive\, the A-State Museum is at 320 University Loop West\, and ABI is at 504 University Loop West. \nFor more information about any of the planned events\, one may contact Sweet at asweet@AState.edu

SUMMARY:28th Annual Darwin Day Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Darwin Day celebration is happy to be back at MOSAC! \nThe second longest-running Darwin Day celebration in the world is happy to be back at MOSAC. This annual celebration features a science presentation and draws individuals who hold science in high regard and want to sustain scientific integrity of school curricula and programs. For the third consecutive year the celebration will be held in the state-of-the-art planetarium at the SMUD Museum of Science and Curiosity on February 8\, 2025\, 6:30 pm – 9:30 pm at 400 Jibboom St. Sacramento\, California. \n  \nJeff Rodgers\nJeff Rodgers\, Manager of the UC Davis Multiverse Theater at MOSAC\, is an accomplished science communicator with three decades of experience exploring the intersectionality of the natural sciences. His work – spanning astrophysics\, particle physics\, astrobiology\, and evolutionary biology – seeks to make what we know about the universe and our place in it accessible to public audiences. \nThis year’s Darwin Day talk\, “On Becoming Human\,” is a grand exploration of the history of our universe and the emergence of humans as “a way for the universe to know itself.”\nSacramento’s Darwin Day Educational Gala is a community-based public event conducted annually around Charles Darwin’s birthday. In the context of a party\, its educational components are intended to foster in attendees a passion for science education. A presenter\, usually a scientist or Darwin expert\, speaks each year\, highlighting science’s contributions to humanity. Since 1998\, the Sacramento area has hosted the annual event at various community venues with various sponsoring organizations and individuals. Desmond notes that “MOSAC’s opening and collaboration with us are extremely exciting for everyone who appreciates science and its role in benefiting mankind.”
