SUMMARY:Precursors of Humanity ... along the trail of human origins with Deby Cassill & Frans de Waal
DESCRIPTION:Ticket purchase is required: tickets to this stellar event are now available from the site\, Brown Paper Ticket:s Go here for your ticket: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/2272665/ref/1128069  \nWe are excited to present two famed experts iwho will discuss how we act as we do. It’s Evolution\, after all. Join us for two lecture discussions\, followed by light refreshments and socializing. \nDr. Deby Cassill — USF’s Department of Environmental Science & Policy is unquestionably enriched with Dr. Cassill’s scientific wisdom. Aside from holding a doctorate in biology and boasting more than a decade’s worth of experience\, the professor has done extensive research on fire ants and ant behavior\, written a myriad of scholarly papers as a result\, received almost $25\,000 in grants for various research projects\, won a handful of distinguished awards\, and appeared in numerous noteworthy science publications. Despite her star status in the world of science\, Dr. Cassill is a down-to-earth\, energetic and engaging professor. As clichéd as it sounds\, she really does make learning fun — she has a natural ability to translate ideas and information without losing her students’ attention\, and a genuine enthusiasm for what she’s doing \nDr. Cassill received her Ph.D. in biology from the Florida State University. On the campus of USF St. Petersburg\, Dr. Cassill is affectionately known as the “ant whisperer.” In her quest to understand social behavior\, Dr. Cassill uses ants as surrogates for humans. She studies the survival strategies of ants encountering a variety of adverse conditions. This has undergirded the proposition that social values play an important and expanding role in shaping the basis of animal and human behavior. \nDr. Frans de Waal received his Ph.D. in Biology and Zoology from Utrecht University\, the Netherlands\, in 1977. He completed his postdoctoral study of chimpanzees while associated with Utrecht University\, in 1981\, and moved the same year to the USA. He has been a National Academy of Sciences member since 2004\, and a Royal Dutch Academy of Sciences member since 1993. \nTime featured him in 2007 as one of the World’s One Hundred Most Influential People. He is also the Director of Living Links at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center. \nHe is the author of many books and articles the latest of which is: The Bonobo and the Atheist\, In Search of Humanism among the Primates \nThis is an annual science and educational event sponsored by member organizations of Tampa Bay Coalition of Reason\, of which Center for Inquiry-Tampa Bay is a founding member. We would appreciate your support. \nDarwin Day Questions? 727-271-3549

SUMMARY:Darwin Day Lecture – Evolution: What the Fossils Say
DESCRIPTION:Among the greatest distortions and misunderstandings about evolution are the creationist attacks on the fossil record\, and whether it provides evidence for evolution. In this talk\, geologist and paleontologist Donald Prothero will review some of the amazing discoveries that have been made recently showing remarkable “transitional fossils” that documents the evolution of one group of animals from another. He also will take a broader look at the issues of creationism in the United States. \n     Prothero taught college geology and paleontology for 37 years at Caltech\, Columbia\, Vassar\, and other colleges. He earned his B.A. in geology and biology from UC-Riverside and two Master’s degrees and a doctorate in geological sciences from Columbia University. The author of more than 35 books (including Abominable Science! about which he discussed at CFI-L.A. before)\, and 300 scientific papers\, mostly on the evolution of fossil mammals and on using the earth’s magnetic field changes to date fossil-bearing strata\, Prothero has been on the editorial boards of many scientific journals; received numerous fellowships; headed academic groups in geology and paleontology; conducted science tours; and received many awards in the field. He has been featured on numerous TV documentaries\, including Walking with Prehistoric Beasts\, Prehistoric Monsters Revealed and Creationism\, as well as Jeopardy! and Win Ben Stein’s Money. \nAdmission:\nPublic: $8\nStudents: $4\nContributing Members: FREE

SUMMARY:DARWIN WEEK FEB 8-12
DESCRIPTION:On board Yacht La Pinta\, while exploring The Galapagos Islands\, we are celebrating Darwin Week with a series of talks and lectures related to Charles Darwin’s works. On Feb 8 we analyzed the critical thinking on Charles Darwin after writing a list of pros & cons as to why marry Emma Wedgewood\, his first cousin. On Feb 9 our Expedition Leader\, Mr. Ramiro Jacome\, talked about the Genealogy of Charles Darwin in order to undertstand how his family developed. On Feb 10\, it was the right time to look at the origin of the famous line “survival of the fittest”. Here we covered how Herbert Spencer coined this phrase\, and how Charles Darwin mentioned on the 5th edition of Origin of Species. Feb 11 saw the importance of the formal apology by The Church of England\, 126 years after his death. And\, last but not least\, the full biography lecture on Charles Darwin on Feb 12\, including the famous naming of Mount Darwin by Captain Robert Fitzroy on board HMS Beagle right on Charles Darwin’s 25th Birthday! Guests on board have been delighted with the exclusive celebration of our Darwin Week Feb 8-12\, in the Galapagos Islands.

SUMMARY:Darwin Week a Città della Scienza
DESCRIPTION:A poco più di 200 anni dalla nascita di Charles Darwin\, nonostante le sue teorie abbiano modificato radicalmente il modo di osservare e studiare il mondo naturale\, le fila dei “nemici” di Darwin\, ossia coloro che non vedono l’ora di sminuire o addirittura cancellare il suo contributo al progresso scientifico moderno\, non smettono di ingrossarsi. Sempre più spesso politici\, religiosi\, filosofi e liberi pensatori “attaccano” la figura e il pensiero di Charles Darwin\, travisando le sue teorie o applicandole ad ambiti del tutto differenti dal mondo naturale.\nPer combattere questa pericolosa tendenza\, il 12 febbraio le istituzioni scientifiche in tutto il mondo organizzano eventi speciali\, denominati “Darwin Day”\, in cui viene fatta chiarezza sul pensiero e le teorie del grande naturalista inglese\, sull’attualità del suo metodo scientifico e sugli ultimi risultati della ricerca applicata all’evoluzione delle specie viventi.\nAnche noi abbiamo un Darwin Day\, anzi\, abbiamo una Darwin Week! Da martedì 9 a domenica 14 febbraio 2016\, nel Science Centre di Città della Scienza sarà possibile conoscere e approfondire aspetti della vita e delle opere di Charles Darwin attraverso interventi di esperti\, visite guidate a tema\, giochi\, dimostrazioni interattive e laboratori per i più piccoli. \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEcco il programma:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n9 febbraio – martedì\nore 12.00\nLe esplorazioni scientifiche ai tempi di Darwin\nApprofondimento scientifico a cura del dr. Guglielmo Maglio\, Naturalista\, Fondazione IDIS.\nSeguirà un’attività di laboratorio sulla realizzazione di piccoli strumenti scientifici. \n10 febbraio – mercoledì\nore 12.00\nLa geologia ai tempi di Darwin\nApprofondimento scientifico a cura del dr. Luigi Cerri\, Geologo\, Fondazione IDIS.\nSeguirà un’attività di laboratorio di geologia. \n11 febbraio – giovedì\nore 12.00\nLo studio delle piante nell’opera di Charles Darwin\nApprofondimento e laboratorio scientifico a cura della dr.ssa Riccarda d’Onofrio\, Biologa\, Fondazione IDIS.\nSeguirà un’attività di laboratorio di botanica. \n12 febbraio – venerdì\nore 13.00\nMendel e Darwin\, la nascita della biologia moderna\nApprofondimento e laboratorio scientifico a cura del dr.ssa Rosa Procolo\, Biologa\, Fondazione IDIS.\nSeguirà un’attività di laboratorio sull’estrazione del DNA. \n13 febbraio – sabato\nore 12.00\nBiodiversità e Insetti\nApprofondimento e laboratorio scientifico a cura del dr.
