I'm so excited that University of Kentucky is going to be paying tribute to Charles Darwin this fall. This week Prof. V. Betty Smocovitis will be presenting a lecture titled “Rhapsody on a Darwinian Theme: Darwin in Song in Musical Production." It will be on Thursday Sep. 24 in the Lexmark Rm in the Adm. Bldg at 3:30 pm. In October, the Gaines Center for the Humanities will present the 2009 Bale Boone Symposium. This is basically a week of Darwin related activities/lectures. On Oct. 16th, James Krupa from the department of biology will be presenting "What Is Evolution and Why Does it Matter?" On Oct 19th, Barry Werth will be presenting "Evolution in America: A Short History of the First 150 Years." On Oct 20th, Jonathan Gottschall from Washington and Jefferson College will present "Darwin in Wonderland: Evolution and the Science of Story." On Oct 21st, Kenneth R. Miller from Brown University will present "Is it Really Only a Theory?: Evolution and the Question of Design." On the last day, Oct 22, Adam Gopnik will present "Darwin's Two Times." All of these talks will be at UK's student center and will start at 6pm. Events are free and open to the public. I hope to see you there!
