Yesterday, the Biology Department threw a huge bash to celebrate Charles Darwin's 200th birthday. In preparation, students from Evolution, Genetics, Invertebrate Zoology, General Biology II and two sections of our non-majors Biology course created informative posters, amazing works of art, a beautiful banner and even dishes made from Mrs. Charles Darwin's cookbook! (The above students are posing next to their fantastic projects.) We had t-shirts made using artwork contributed by J.Q. Sirls, an incredibly creative non-majors student from last semester. The Biology faculty also brought Dodo Dogs, Vestigial Veggies, Cambrian Explosion Candy, Cretaceous Cookies, Finch Fritos, Coprolite Cheese Puffs, Galapagos Grapes and Primordial Punch in honor of Darwin and evolution. We had visitors from across campus who came to admire our students' work. We are so proud of them and of how successful this day turned out to be!

I'm bummed that I missed the Darwin birthday bash! Primordial Punch? Sounds stellar.
