Darwin's Legacy: Evolution's Impact on Science and Culture

This is in March and close enough - Wilmington, NC - for me to go:

UNCW's Evolution Learning Community will be hosting "Darwin's Legacy: Evolution's Impact on Science and Culture," a multidisciplinary student conference on March 19-21, 2009.

The conference will be a unique opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students in the natural sciences, social sciences, humanities and arts who are conducting research or creative endeavors related to evolution to present their research, investigate graduate study opportunities, network, enhance their resumes, and enrich the body of knowledge surrounding evolution.

Blogger meet-up, anyone?

Today is Darwin Day. But, more than that, it is a very special Darwin Day in that it is the 200th anniversary of the birth of evolutionary biologist Charles Darwin.
Over at the Raving Atheist's forum, contributors have compiled a list of 50 evolution myths. It's actually at 51 right now—I could have told them there are a lot more than 50—but it's entertaining.

Darn! I wish I could go, but I'll be at a conference in San Francisco at that time. I'm not complaining about that, mind you, but I am sorry about missing the UNCW one.

Well, if Bora, Barton and Brian are going to the conference, I might be able to make the 1.5 hour drive down the beautiful coastline ;)
