We will celebrate Darwin's Birthday on February 22. The Adult Forum will be treated to a talk by our own Julie Wade. Though Julie is a familiar face at FPE, it is worth noting that she earned her doctorate in biology at Cornell University, and institution that is widely considered as one of the most prestigous academic centers in the world, particularly in the field of Biology. Julie served as a professor of Biology at Milligan college until her recent retirement. She is very well-qualified to speak on this topic. That said, she is a nice person with a friendly approach who will help us better understand the place of evolution in our world.
Here's her synopsis of her talk:
"Evolution by Natural Selection has been called one of the greatest scientific theories ever developed. This description of how life has changed over time was formally published 150 years ago by Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace. The theory then and now has impacted people in profound and substantial ways because it provides implications for how humans view themselves in relation to the natural world. We shall explore the amazing life of Charles Darwin, his Theory of Natural Selection, and the enduring legacy that he left behind."
Please join us on February 22.

Thanks Julie. That was a good presentation, as I'm sure you could tell for the audience's response.
