Reminder: Darwin Week

Remember that WSU is hosting Darwin week starting on Tuesday with a discussion panel at 7PM in CUE 203. Someone asked me about transport over there. I'm not sure what to tell you. I can let folks out early enough to catch the Wheatland Express shuttle, but it looks like you'd get stuck there. Perhaps there could be some ad hoc carpooling. If anyone is planning to go and is willing to take on some extra passengers (or has a solution to the Wheatland Express problem), please leave a comment to that effect. In any case, I should probably end class by 5:30 to make sure I have enough time to scarf a sandwich and make it over to the panel.

Upcoming Events

The National "Teach In" on Global Warming is going on now. Gary Machlis will give the keynote tomorrow from 1:15-2:00 in the Silver and Gold Room. Especially for those of you who are considering doing your research project on global climate chance, this would be an excellent opportunity to start thinking about what issues you'd like to address.

Also, as I might have mentioned, 2009 is both Darwin's 200th birthday and the 150th anniversary of the publication of the Origin of Species (good timing, Chuck!). WSU is celebrating with Darwin Week from Feb. 17th-19th. I'll be part of the panel discussion on the 17th — I hope you'll come anyway.
