Darwin Day is February 12th, the date of birth of Charles Darwin in the year 1809, at Shrewsbury, England.

On this date, and throughout the month, people from all over the world are honoring the life, work and influence of Charles Darwin with events and activities which celebrate science and our shared humanity. Join in the events and celebrate the adventure of science, and the ‘passion to know’ that drives us to inquire, explore and discover what this world is all about. Events at EIU include visiting Lectures and screenings all week between Monday and Wednesday February 8-10 are at 7pm in Doudna Lecture Hall. All events are free and open to the public. 

Beneath the fold take a look at the many books in Booth’s collections related to this year’s visiting speakers on the human microbiome and the evolution of human nutritional needs.
