SUMMARY:Darwin Day at A-State Museum
DESCRIPTION:The Darwin Day activities at Arkansas State University kick off with an exhibit at A-State Museum\, located at 320 University Loop\, inside Dean B. Ellis Library. \nJONESBORO – This year\, the Darwin Day activities at Arkansas State University kick off with an exhibit at A-State Museum\, located at 320 University Loop\, inside Dean B. Ellis Library. \n“The exhibit will feature fossils and specimens of different plants and animals that no longer live in Arkansas\, and in some cases\, no longer live anywhere on earth\,” said Dr. Drew Sweet\, associate professor of evolutionary biology. \nSweet said that Arkansas once looked very different from what it does now\, and the exhibit will showcase how both plant and animal life have changed. \n“The exhibit will also focus on some plants and animals that are not extinct yet\, but are not doing very well. We still have time to save them\, but we need people to be aware\,” added Sweet. \nThe exhibit will be open from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Monday\, Feb. 9\, through Saturday\, Feb. 28. \nA panel discussion\, Darwin Day: Extinction and De-Extinction\, will be held from 4 – 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday\, Feb. 11\, in room 157 of A-State Museum. \n“Organisms have been going extinct at an increasingly faster rate over the last several centuries\,” Sweet continued. “One approach to counteracting high extinction rates is ‘de-extinction\,’ which seeks to use cutting-edge biotechnology to resurrect previously extinct species. However\, some approaches to de-extinction are controversial\, and it is important to have discussions about the ethics of these approaches.” \nThis panel discussion will feature experts from the A-State community\, including biologists and philosophers. \nOn Thursday\, Feb. 12\, the keynote speaker for the Darwin Day events will speak on “The Elephant from Heaven and the Chicken from Hell: Does De-extinction Make Sense?” This event will be held from 5 – 6:30 p.m. in the auditorium of A-State Museum. \nDr. Gregory Kaebnick\, director of the research department and editor of the Hastings Center Report at the Hastings Center for Bioethics\, will speak about ethical issues surrounding the resurrection of previously extinct species. \nThose who cannot attend the event in person can still attend online: https://RedWolv.es/DeExtinct.

SUMMARY:Science Night Live: Annual Darwin Day Celebration – Ancient Trees Bring New Knowledge in Our Rapidly Changing World
DESCRIPTION:Hofstra Cultural Center and the Department of Geology\, Environment\, and Sustainability present Science Night Live \nJoin Us for Our Annual Darwin Day Celebration: Ancient Trees Bring New Knowledge in Our Rapidly Changing World \nDr. Neil Pederson will describe how scientists access the memories of trees using a process called tree-ring analysis or dendrochronology. Tree-ring analysis might be one of the most flexible implements in the scientific toolbox\, especially in understanding the impacts of global environmental change. Trees are helping us better document the presence of old-growth forests as the rapid pace of environment change blurs these distinctions. Studying old-growth forests has revealed how much we need to learn about the lives of trees. Trees have also born witness to early human events\, including the rise of the Mongol Empire\, to add nuance in ways that can befuddle human historians. Ancient trees offer new insights into our world by expanding human knowledge. \nLocation: The Helene Fortunoff Theater\, Monroe Lecture Center\, California Avenue\, South Campus \nAdmission is FREE and open to the public. Advance registration is required. \nFor more information\, please call the Hofstra Cultural Center at 516-463-5669.
