Anneke Lisberg, Department of Biological Sciences, will talk about “The smell of success: Understanding chemical signals and competition in social mammals” in honor of Charles Darwin’s 206th birthday on Thurs., Feb. 12, 6:30-8pm in Hyland Hall’s Timmerman Auditorium.
“Darwin Day” is an event celebrated around the world to recognize the work of Charles Darwin, along with intellectual curiosity and scientific thinking in general. Resolutions to officially designate Feb. 12 as Darwin Day in the U.S. have been introduced in the U.S. Senate (S. Res. 66) and House of Representatives (H. Res. 67).
