Details:
Baltimore CoR will be joining the Darwin Day 2022 celebration hosted by the Humanists and Freethinkers of Fairfield County (CT). The social hour is for our Baltimore CoR community.

The story of life on Earth is still being told. Dinosaurs no longer roam the planet: Species come and go, but what does it all mean? And, more importantly, can the fossil record of past mass extinctions inform us of what is to come? Dr. Pincelli Hull, Yale U. Assistant Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences and Assistant Curator of Invertebrate Paleontology at Yale Peabody Museum, will explore these questions at the 14th Darwin Day CT Celebration

This online meeting is open to all at no charge.

The event also features audience participation in a challenging and entertaining science quiz developed by science presenter Mitch Kalmus. No prior training is required to enjoy this social event, with brain teasers and humor.

DARWIN DAY is an international celebration of science and humanity held around Charles Darwin’s February 12th birthday.

Dr. Pincelli Hull is an enthusiastic coach of the next generation of young scientists mentoring not only undergraduates and graduate students but also providing opportunities for secondary students.
