Reminder: Darwin Symposium tomorrow at ICTP

[Info Point]

*A Darwin 2009 Symposium and Exhibit

On 24 November at 16:30*, ICTP will host a free public lecture to 
commemorate the 150th anniversary of Darwin's Origin of Species. Titled 
"Darwin, Evolution and Science", the event will feature talks (in 
Italian) about the first humans in northeast Italy, the origin of life 
in the universe, and what Darwin might have discovered had he explored 
Antarctica. The talks will be held in ICTP's Main Lecture Hall.

ICTP's ongoing exhibit on Darwin and evolution, celebrating the 
bicentennial of Darwin' s birth, runs until 11 December. The exhibit, 
which is being held in the main lobby of the Leonardo Building, includes 
relics of ancient life, from dinosaur eggs to hominid remains, as well 
as information about Darwin's life and accomplishments. The exhibit also 
features a special laser-produced hologram of Neanderthal man, as well 
as demonstrations of how modern physics tools are helping scientists to 
more accurately date and characterize ancient materials of interest to 
evolution studies.
Details for both events are described at
