Darwin Day 2020
We celebrated Darwin Day 2020 through multiple events Feb. 10-13. Many thanks to Maria Orive (U Kansas) for joining us and speaking in our Evolution Seminar Series and Wednesday Nite @ the Lab!
Some photos from Darwin Day, including Tree of Life Activities which encouraged children and adults alike to explore evolution activities, a poster sessions which gave Crow researchers the ability to present the research being done here at UW-Madison, and two presentations by our esteemed guest Dr. Maria E. Orive from the University of Kansas. There were an estimated 145 school-aged children that participated, and our guest speaker was a huge success. Dr. Orive even shared her personal story of meeting Dr. James Crow as a young grad student.
The application for Spring 2020 seminars is closed. For more information about the seminars, please look here.
