Celebrate Darwin Day

In honor of the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birthday, Darwin Day Celebrations are being held all over the world in recognition of Darwin's contribution in scientifically describing biological evolution via natural selection, and of the benefits of scientific knowledge generally in the advancement of humanity. Here is one opportunity for local Seattle-area citizens to join in the celebration. Dr. Leroy Hood will speak at Pacific Science Center on Darwin's role and modern-day expansions and ramifications of scientific thought. Dr. Hood has played a crucial role in the technological foundation for contemporary molecular biology. He is currently involved in pioneering systems medicine and the systems approach to disease. That’s Thursday, Feb. 12, 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $5 at the door or →online. FREE for Pacific Science Center members. Seating is limited. Come early and be sure to visit →Lucy's Legacy while you're here.
