SUMMARY:Patience\, Industry\, and a Fair Share of Invention – Lessons from Charles Darwin the “Experimentiser”
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an NSF Directorate for Biological Sciences (BIO) Distinguished Lecture for Darwin Day (Feb. 12)\, featuring Jim Costa\, PhD\, Executive Director of the Highlands Biological Station and Professor of Biology at Western Carolina University. \nWhile Darwin Day occurs on February 12 (Charles Darwin’s birthday) the lecture will occur on Thursday\, February 10\, 2022 from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM EST. \nView the lecture: https://nsf.zoomgov.com/j/1612020119?pwd=bW5Mb2dEMEg5OFZxUTAzaE12dzhOdz09\nMeeting ID: 161 202 0119\nPasscode: 749557 \nReal-Time Captioning:  https://www.captionedtext.com/client/event.aspx?EventID=5028873&Customer\nEvent ID: 5028873 \nDr. Costa’s lecture is titled “Patience\, Industry\, and a Fair Share of Invention – Lessons from Charles Darwin the ‘Experimentiser’.” \nAbstract\nCharles Darwin is best known as the author of the watershed book On the Origin of Species\, the founding document of modern evolutionary biology — a work he famously referred to as “one long argument\,” tying together seemingly disparate strands of evidence into a cohesive and compelling argument for evolution by natural selection.  Less well known is the fact that Darwin authored another 10 books following the Origin\, more than half of which treated his extensive experimental work on botanical subjects — works that we might call Darwin’s “one longer argument.”  In this talk\, I explore the research method behind Darwin’s “long arguments\,” in particular his talent for gaining profound scientific insights with simple\, DIY experiments.   Darwin loved “experimentising” — from his study and garden to his greenhouse and meadows\, he was constantly enlisting family and friends\, and crowd-sourcing\, to collect data.  Darwin’s working method offers valuable lessons for science educators today in revealing science at its most essential: forget fancy equipment\, science is at heart a process of learning to see and ask questions\, accessible to anyone\, and ultimately a collective endeavor. \nAbout Dr. Jim Costa\nJim Costa is Executive Director of the Highlands Biological Station and Professor of Biology at Western Carolina University\, where he teaches courses in biogeography and evolution.  An entomologist and evolutionary biologist by training\, Jim’s research and writing ranges from insect social evolution to the history of evolutionary thinking.  He has authored numerous research papers and seven books\, most recently Darwin’s Backyard: How Small Experiments Led to a Big Theory (W.W. Norton\, 2017) and the edited volume An Alfred Russel Wallace Companion (Chicago\, 2019)\, and his work has been supported by NSF\, USDA\, USFSW\, and fellowships with Harvard’s Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study\, the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin\, and the LuEsther T. Mertz Library of the New York Botanical Garden.  Jim is a long-time Research Associate of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard\, and he currently serves as a Trustee of the London-based Charles Darwin Trust.  In 2017 Jim was awarded the Alfred Russel Wallace Medal for his contributions to Wallace scholarship.

SUMMARY:Adaptation for Survival: Humans and Their Pathogens
DESCRIPTION:Nita Bharti\, Penn State assistant professor of biology\, will deliver a virtual lecture titled “Adaptation for Survival: Humans and Their Pathogens” at 4 p.m. on Thursday\, Feb. 10\, as part of Penn State’s 2022 Darwin Day celebration. Advance registration is required for the event\, which is open to the public. \nBharti has been part of the Penn State faculty and a member of Penn State’s Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics since 2016. Her research focuses on how the interactions between humans and their environment affect the spread of infectious diseases. In addition to combining modern remote sensing and conventional field epidemiology to quantify how human movement influences infection risk and the impact of interventions\, Bharti also develops methods to overcome biases in the detectability of disease in underserved populations to decrease health inequities. \nBharti’s Darwin Day lecture will examine how understanding human-pathogen interactions in the environmental and cultural contexts in which they occur is a global health priority. She will discuss how local context can help identify and integrate unconventional types of data on humans\, pathogens and environments to help prevent diseases that threaten humans (like measles and Hendra virus) in the populations where they most urgently need to be addressed. \nDarwin Day is an international celebration held each year around Charles Darwin’s birthday (Feb. 12\, 1809) to recognize his contributions to science and to promote science in general. This year’s Penn State celebration is co-sponsored by the Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences and the Center for Human Evolution and Diversity in the College of the Liberal Arts; to learn more\, contact Tess Wilson at tmw119@psu.edu.

SUMMARY:Squamate Speciation Symposium
DESCRIPTION:2022 Darwin Day with NABT & NCSE\nThursday\, February 10th\n7:00PM – 8:30PM ET (6:00PM CT / 5:00PM MT / 4:00PM PT)Snakes are really odd\, really successful kinds of lizards. They are so successful and so unusual that most people don’t even think they are lizards. The origin of snakes has led to a deep well of questions: When and why did they lose their limbs? Why don’t snakes have eyelids? What’s up with all the tongue flicking? \nJoin us for a special encore presentation of the popular “Squamate Speciation Symposium” that was presented during the 2021 NABT Conference in Atlanta. This session will explore the origins of limblessness\, the discovery of the largest snake of all time\, Titanoboa cerrejonensis\, and how 3D imaging of museum specimens opens up a whole new world of opportunities for scientists and educators alike. \nPresented by –\nEdward L. Stanley\, oVert program/Florida Museum\, University of Florida\, Gainesville\, FL \nRebecca Brewer\, Troy High School\, NCSE Teacher Ambassador\, Troy\, MI\, and \nLin Andrews\, Director of Teacher Support\, NCSE\, Oakland\, CA \nNABT will be using Zoom Webinar for this event and login instructions will be sent via email from conference@nabt.org.

SUMMARY:Darwin Days Virtual Presentation – Incredible Insects – Moth vs Predator: 1000 ways to die\, 1001 ways to survive
DESCRIPTION:New York is home to around 4\,000 species of moths and butterflies that are integral parts of our ecosystems. Hundreds of species of birds\, mammals\, arachnids\, and insects depend on them for food\, but they are not always an easy meal. Both caterpillars and adults employ everything from leaping\, biting\, stabbing\, yelling\, and stinging to more passive strategies like poisons\, camouflage\, and mimicry. \nIn this talk we will look at the myriad of predators\, parasites\, and parasitoids looking for a meal and the strategies that moths and butterflies use to survive with Dr. Jason J. Dombroskie\, Manager of the Cornell University Insect Collection (CUIC) & Coordinator of the Insect Diagnostic Lab (IDL). \nThis event is hosted by the Paleontological Research Institution (PRI)\, and is part of a recurring event series called “Science in the Virtual Pub.” This year on February 6 – 12\, PRI and its Museum of the Earth will hold events for “Darwin Days\,” the annual celebration of the life and ideas of Charles Darwin. This year\, PRI is collaborating with Cornell University’s entomology department to offer virtual and in person events exploring the world of insects.

SUMMARY:Eugenie Scott presents Darwin\, Evolution\, Myth – and Humanism
DESCRIPTION:Details\n\n\nCharles Darwin’s religious views have been vigorously debated. The son and grandson of well-known 19th-century freethinkers\, he nonetheless had a conventional religious upbringing\, and scholars agree that for at least the early part of his life\, he was conventionally religious. His views changed later in life\, drifting more towards the rejection of Christianity held by his father and grandfather. One explanation for this change is the development of his idea of evolution by natural selection\, though there is not yet a scholarly consensus on this. Today\, science\, and perhaps especially evolution\, is seen as central to modern Humanism\, and it is variously embraced and vigorously rejected by people of many religious perspectives. But how well does evolution work as religion? Is\, as E.O. Wilson once said\, “The evolutionary epic is probably the best myth we will ever have”? \nOur speaker\nEugenie C. Scott\, a physical anthropologist\, humanist\, and science education pioneer\, is retired as founding Executive Director of The National Center for Science Education: She is a native of Wisconsin and graduate of the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee(B.S. and M.S) and the University of Missouri (Ph.D.). She authored two books on issues around the teaching of creationism in public schools and was a consultant for the legal team that won the federal court case that disallowed it. Eugenie has been honored by numerous organizations for her work in science education. She and her husband now reside in California. \n\n\n———————-\nThis event is free and is limited to 100 registrants.

SUMMARY:Quercus Circus: The Biodiversity and Ecological Value of Oaks
DESCRIPTION:Oaks are one of the defining tree species in our world\, with a long and fascinating history. Charles Darwin considered the nature of oak species to be “a thorny problem”\, but new genetic research suggests that we have come to a nuanced understanding of the oak species concept. This seminar will demystify the genus Quercus by walking through the branches of the oak tree of life. You will discover more about the natural history of oaks and the role they serve at the ecosystem level\, including how current research aims to shed light on the ecological role of hybridization.

SUMMARY:"Mass Extinction in Our Once and Future World"
DESCRIPTION:14th Annual Darwin Day Celebration\n\n\nMass Extinction in Our Once and Future World is topic for Feb 12 Darwin Day \n  \n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe story of life on Earth is still being told. Dinosaurs no longer roam the planet. Species come and go. But what does it all mean? And\, more importantly\, can the fossil record of past mass extinctions inform us of what is likely to come? Dr. Pincelli Hull\, Yale U. Assistant Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences and Assistant Curator of Invertebrate Paleontology at Yale Peabody Museum\, will explore these questions at the 14th Darwin Day CT Celebration which will be held online on Sat February 12\, 2022\, hosted and sponsored by the Humanists and Freethinkers of Fairfield County. Register at bit.ly/DarwinDayCT2022 \n\nDr. Hull writes\, “I am broadly interested in the evolution and ecology of open ocean ecosystems and species over long-time scales\, as these are the scales on which species evolve and go extinct and ecosystems collapse and reassemble” Her presentation entitled\, Mass Extinctions in our Once and Future World will  “provide an introduction to the scientific study of mass extinction events\, an overview of mass extinctions through time\, and insights from the ancient world for our ongoing biodiversity crisis.” \nThe event also features audience participation in a challenging and entertaining science quiz developed by retired science teacher Mitch Kalmus. No prior training is required to enjoy this social event\, with brain teasers and humor. \nDARWIN DAY is an international celebration of science and humanity held around Charles Darwin’s February 12th birthday\, celebrating the discoveries and life of the man\, and expressing gratitude for the enormous benefits that scientific knowledge\, acquired through human curiosity and ingenuity\, has contributed to the advancement of humanity. \nDr. Hull received her doctorate from Scripps Institution of Oceanography at University of California at San Diego. She has published extensively in numerous scientific journals\, and is the recipient of many fellowships\, grants\, and academic awards. \nShe is an enthusiastic coach of the next generation of young scientists mentoring not only undergraduates and graduate students but also providing opportunities for secondary students. Dr. Hull’s lab participates and supports two outreach programs for high school students in New Haven\, run by EVOLUTIONS (EVoking Learning and Understanding Through Investigations of the Natural Sciences) at the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History. She will be one of the featured scientists in an upcoming children’s book. To find out more about her lab go to https://people.earth.yale.edu/profile/pincelli-hull/about \nRegister at bit.ly/DarwinDayCT2022 for Darwin Day CT Celebration online free-of-charge on February 12\, 2022.

SUMMARY:Boston Humanists Darwin Day Talk: Darwin's Apostles with Dr. Abby Hafer
DESCRIPTION:Greater Boston Humanists will celebrate upcoming Darwin Day (February 12) with Dr. Abby Hafer of Curry College on the Sunday\, FEBRUARY 13\, at 1:30 pm with our Darwin Day Talk and celebration. This Zoom event is our way of celebrating Science on the week of Darwin Day\, a major Humanist and secular community holiday “celebrating the principles of intellectual bravery\, perpetual curiosity\, scientific thinking\, and hunger for truth as embodied in Charles Darwin.” \nAbby’s talk is entitled ‘Darwin’s Apostles’:\nWhen the discovery of evolution by natural selection was announced\, neither of the scientists who discovered it were present at the announcement! Who did the hatchet work for evolution? Why\, Darwin’s apostles\, of course!\nCharles Darwin was a recluse in later life. He wrote earth-shattering books but preferred to have others defend them. \nFortunately\, scientists like Thomas Huxley\, Joseph Hooker\, Asa Gray\, John Draper\, and evolution’s co-discoverer Alfred Russel Wallace were all willing to go to bat on evolution’s behalf. They were colorful\, distinguished\, and tenacious. \nCome find out more about them and their relevance to current troubles with fake news and science denialism. \nDr. Abby Hafer is the author\, with David Orenstein\, of ‘Darwin’s Apostles’. She is also the author of ‘The Not-So-Intelligent Designer—Why Evolution Explains the Human Body and Intelligent Design Does Not’. She has a doctorate in zoology from Oxford University and teaches human anatomy and physiology at Curry College. She also serves on the Board of AHA. \nDr. Hafer is also the co-author of Bill H.471\, a bill in the Massachusetts legislature which requires that all science taught in public schools be based on peer-reviewed science. She hopes that someday\, reality-based public science education will be thus protected all over the country. \nZoom information link for our Sunday 2/13 meeting:\nhttps://smartrecovery.zoom.us/j/154575482 \nOr\, you may use PHONE: +1-929-436-2866\, meeting number 154575482# US.\nRSVP on bostonhumanists.org Events Calendar
