Naturalist lectures at OIMB
Monday, October 26, 2009 | No comments posted.
The Oregon Institute of Marine Biology is hosting a public lecture on “Zoophytes, barnacles, iguanas and reefs; recollections of a salt-water naturalist” on Friday.
Dr. Craig Young will present the program at 7 p.m. in the OIMB Boathouse Auditorium.
This year marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin and the 150th anniversary of the publication of his famous and controversial work “On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection.” Few people know that Darwin began his scientific career as a marine biologist, that he spent much of his life working on the biology of invertebrate animals, and that his important contributions on barnacles, earthworms and coral reefs are still highly regarded in the scientific community .
In commemoration of the Darwin bicentennial, Professor Young will present a marine-based overview of Darwin’s life, discoveries and travels. The lecture will be illustrated with photos, video, authentic Victorian costume and artifacts.
To get to the boathouse, park near OIMB and walk to the end of Boat Basin Drive, past the U.S. Coast Guard housing complex. Admission is free.
