SUMMARY:VIAGGIO DI UN NATURALISTA INTORNO AL MONDO
DESCRIPTION:February is the month dedicated to Darwin to celebrate his birth\, but it is also the month of the birth of Pietro Doderlein\, the first Professor engaged for the first course of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy of the University of Palermo\, and founder of the Museum of Zoology.\nDarwin Day\, the international event dedicated to the English naturalist who has revolutionized the thinking of the biological sciences\, assumes\, as a consequence\, a double value within the collections of the Museum. Inspired by Darwin’s principles\, the purpose of the exhibition is not only to draw the explorations and travels of Darwin on the Beagle\, but also to review it from a different point of view from what we are used to; in fact\, the thousands of different specimens collected by Pietro Doderlein\, more than 150 years ago\, will be the unusual guides in the Museum of Zoology of the University Museum System of the University of Palermo.

SUMMARY:Darwin's Week
DESCRIPTION:Darwin’s Week at NSU is a popular science marathon about the origin of everything in the world for schoolchildren as well as the general public. Every day one can visit a lecture and have an opportunity to ask the speaker questions. Lectures at the first Darwin Week were devoted to the origin of the Universe\, the Earth\, life\, man\, language\, family and species.\nThe speakers at the Week are faculty members and scientists from NSU. They are specialists who can share with listeners the latest and most reliable information. Darwin Week lectures are about something that is not yet in the books and will only get there in a few years.\nDarwin Week at NSU is timed to overlap with the Day of Darwin\, which is celebrated all over the world on February 12.

SUMMARY:The Books on the Beagle
DESCRIPTION:Part of the University of Delaware’s annual celebration of International Darwin Day\, this lecture is led by Leslie K. Overstreet\, curator of natural history rare books\, Smithsonian Libraries. It examines the remarkable library Charles Darwin and Captain Fitzroy took with them on the famous round-the-world voyage of HMS Beagle in 1831-1836. \nOverstreet earned a B.A. in English Literature in 1971 and a Master of Arts in Teaching\, both from Reed College\, and held jobs as a teacher and a writer/editor before joining the Smithsonian Libraries in 1980. \nInitially staffing the anthropology and vertebrate zoology libraries in the National Museum of Natural History\, she earned an M.L.S. degree in rare-books librarianship at the University of Maryland and has worked in the Smithsonian Libraries’ Special Collections Department since 1988. She has headed the Joseph F. Cullman 3rd Library of Natural History since it opened in 2002. \nHer own research has focused for many years on Mark Catesby’s “Natural history of Carolina\, Florida and the Bahama Islands (1731-1743).” She served as a consultant to the documentary film “The curious Mr. Catesby\,” produced by the Catesby Commemorative Trust and broadcast on PBS in 2009\, and presented the results of her research on the printing history of Catesby’s book at the 2012 Catesby Tercentennial Conference\, which was subsequently published as a chapter in “The curious Mister Catesby” (2015).

SUMMARY:Everything You Know About Sex is Wrong
DESCRIPTION:Why does sex exist? What are males for? Is the gender binary real? And why does a microbe have the swingingest sex life of all? \nDarwin Day is a celebration of the FEB/12 birthday of naturalist and biologist Charles Darwin\, a pivotal figure in the development of the scientific theory of evolution by natural selection. This year\, we at the Secular Society of MIT mark it with a presentation by Abby Hafer\, a zoologist and speaker who teaches at Curry College and authored Amazon theism-category bestseller “The Not-So-Intelligent Designer”. \nIn this talk\, subtitled “Part I — The Gender Binary” (preemptively\, because the misconceptions are too many to cover in a single talk)\, Dr Hafer will discuss the biological evolution of sex\, sex and gender in the animal kingdom\, and religious notions of sex and sexuality. \nWHEN: Thursday\, FEB/15\, 7:15pm\nWHERE: 4-270 (2nd floor\, 182 Memorial Drive\, https://whereis.mit.edu/?go=4)\nCake and tea served before talk\, audience Q&A after.\nOne lucky attendee will go home with a Darwin art poster we will randomize out at the end of the event.\nFree entry and refreshments.

SUMMARY:Darwin Day at the Gray Fossil Site
DESCRIPTION:JOHNSON CITY (Jan. 30\, 2018) – On Saturday\, Feb. 17\, the Gray Fossil Site and Museum will celebrate the life and times of Charles Darwin by taking part in Darwin Day\, an international observation of the 209th birthday of the famous naturalist. \nThe day will highlight Darwin’s unique contributions to science through fun activities\, demonstrations and a talk of interest to all ages.  \n“Even today\, over a century after his death\, Charles Darwin is admired worldwide for his insatiable scientific curiosity and insight into nature\,” said Gray Fossil Site paleontologist Dr. Chris Widga.  “Few 19th century naturalists contributed so much to so many disciplines.” \nFrom 10 a.m.-4 p.m.\, participants may see fossils up close and take part in family-friendly activities.  Admission will be discounted to $3 for adults and children age 3 and up for the event.  \nGray Fossil Site paleontologists will demonstrate 3-D scanning and printing of fossils from the museum’s collections and exhibits.  A craft table and scavenger hunt for children age 2 and up are also planned. \n“Darwin\, Extinct Megafauna and Underwater Caves of the Yucatán” is the focus of a talk to be given at 11 a.m. by Dr. Blaine W. Schubert\, executive director of the Center of Excellence in Paleontology at East Tennessee State University. \nIn this presentation\, Schubert will link Darwin’s discoveries to the current understanding of why animals exist in certain areas today.  He will also address the extinction of large mammals in the Americas at the end of the last Ice Age and how new fossil discoveries in underwater caves of the Yucatán are revolutionizing science’s understanding of Ice Age ecosystems that existed between North and South America. \nThe Gray Fossil Site is a 5-million-year-old paleontological site containing the fossil remains of thousands of plants and animals.  The site was originally discovered in 2000 during highway construction.  Then-Tennessee Gov. Don Sundquist ordered that the site be protected\, and in 2007\, a museum and research center managed by ETSU opened.  \nSince that time\, the Gray Fossil Site and Museum has been dedicated to scientific discovery\, paleontological research and education in southern Appalachia.  In 2016\, the Gray Fossil Site and Museum entered into a collaborative agreement with the Hands On! Regional Museum\, which began managing educational programming and exhibits. \nTo learn more\, visit http://gfsm.handsonmuseum.org.

SUMMARY:Darwin (Family) Day - Come in Cielo così in Terra
DESCRIPTION:Il Circolo UAAR di Palermo festeggerà il Darwin Day 2018 al Planetario di Palermo (Villa Filippina)\, tenendolo aperto con ingresso libero\, laboratori didattici gratuiti e una tavola rotonda per avvicinare i cittadini alla ricerca scientifica\, secondo la formula “Darwin Family Day” già sperimentata lo scorso anno al Museo Gaetano Giorgio Gemmellaro di paleontologia. \nIl tema è l’interdisciplinarità e il dialogo tra saperi apparentemente lontani\, non sempre facile ma sempre più indispensabile per il progresso umano. I giovanissimi potranno approcciare la scienza giocando con laboratori gratuiti di astronomia e biologia a cura del Planetario e di Astrid – Servizi per la Natura e l’Ambiente S.r.l.\, mentre le curiosità più mature potranno incontrare accademici e ricercatori (dall’astrofisica al chimico\, dalla biologa esperta di estremofili allo speleologo o all’hacker) e discutere del loro lavoro e di come esperienze così diverse si intreccino nell’avventura della Scienza. Il tutto nella cornice del Museo dello Spazio e della Terra\, che potrà essere visitato gratuitamente\, così come il Planetario. \nProgramma \n10:00 Apertura Museo della Terra e dello Spazio \n11:00 Darwin Day Kids\nLaboratori scientifici 5-12 anni (gratis\, prenotazione obbligatoria planeteriopalermo@gmail.com) \n11:00 In cielo\, in terra e in ogni luogo\nAstronauti nelle profondità di una grotta. La vita all’inferno\, nello spazio\, in un computer… La Scienza più fertile\, fecondata da saperi diversi.\nConversazione di e sulle Scienze con Marcello Barrale (Planetario Palermo)\, Renato Lombardo (Università di Palermo)\, Giuseppina Micela (INAF)\, Giovanni Peres (Università di Palermo)\, Paola Quatrini (Università di Palermo)\, Marco Vattano (La Venta Exploring Team). Modera Giorgio Maone (UAAR) \n12:30 Visita planetario \n13:30 Pausa pranzo \n15:00 Darwin Family Day\nSpettacoli\, laboratori naturalistici\, museo e osservazioni astronomiche per grandi e piccini \n18:30 chiusura \nhttps://palermo.uaar.it/darwin-day-2018 \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/177915492980633/
