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:Darwin Day Part 1: James E. Strick
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Darwin Day with a keynote lecture by James E. Strick\, professor and chair of the Science\, Technology and Society Program at Franklin and Marshall College. \nThis year’s presentation delves into Darwin’s nuanced and often private perspectives on the origin of life. Though widely assumed to connect his theory of evolution with life arising through natural chemical processes\, Darwin’s public and private remarks reveal ambivalence and evolving positions. Dr. Strick will contextualize these perspectives within Victorian debates on spontaneous generation\, germ theory and the broader implications for modern origin-of-life research\, including NASA’s quest to understand the universe’s potential to harbor life beyond Earth. \nPrior to the lecture (3:30 p.m.)\, enjoy a special exhibit of Darwin-related items from the Mark Samuels Lasner Collection and Special Collections\, including early editions of Origin of Species\, The Voyage of the Beagle\, and The Descent of Man\, as well as a letter by Darwin\, a book from his personal library\, and a photograph by Julia Margaret Camero. \nLight refreshments sponsored by the Friends of the University of Delaware Library.
