Όπως γνωρίζετε ήδη - έχοντας Darwin είναι ένα μεγάλο έτος κατά το 2009. Όλοι οι πόροι είναι απίστευτο που παρέχουν μεγάλες ευκαιρίες για να μάθουν, και να διδάξουν περισσότερα σχετικά με την εξέλιξη. Έχω απαριθμούνται μερικά από τα αγαπημένα μου εδώ και ελπίζω ότι θα συμπεριλάβει άλλες χρήσιμες έχετε βρει στα σχόλια παρακάτω. Εδώ είναι μια λίστα των υλικών που αναλύονται κατωτέρω:
Αυτό είναι μια περιεκτική συλλογή online συμπεριλαμβανομένων Darwin δημοσιευμένες εργασίες του, το ερευνητικό του notebooks, και τα συναφή υλικά. Θα έχει πόρους για να ξεκινήσετε (μπορείτε να διαβάσετε τα σχετικά με την προέλευση των ειδών;), και τα υλικά για το σοβαρό μελετητή (μπορείτε να βρείτε όλες τις 6 εκδόσεις εδώ). Έχω ιδιαίτερα απολαμβάνουν τη συλλογή Darwin της σκίτσα του δοκίμια και το BBC audio μορφή βιβλίου του Darwin Ημερολόγιο του Beagle.

Ελπίζουμε όλοι είχαν ένα ωραίο Γενέθλια Εορτασμός για Charles Darwin στις 12 Φεβρουαρίου. Σας καλούμε να δείτε τις SSE YouTube γενέθλια χαιρετισμούς στον παρακάτω σύνδεσμο: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jn7zLGJE9EY.
Αυτό είναι ένα διασκεδαστικό συλλογή εξελικτική βιολόγος λέει το τραγούδι και χαρούμενα γενέθλια να Τσακ.
Έχω διαπιστώσει ότι συχνά Scientific American απεργίες το σωστό τόνο για την εισαγωγή δύσκολο επιστημονικού περιεχομένου, να θέσει κοινό. The January 2009 issue has a diverse collection of Darwin and evolution related articles includeing:
- Diversity Revealed: From Atoms to Traits . By David M. Kingsley Charles Darwin saw that random variations in organisms provide fodder for evolution. Modern scientists are revealing how that diversity arises from changes to DNA and can add up to complex creatures or even cultures .
- The Science of Spore–The “Evolution” of Gaming . By Ed Regis A computer game illustrates the difference between building your own simulated creature and real-life natural selection .
- The Evolutionary Origins of Hiccups and Hernias . By Neil H. Shubin How biological hand-me-downs inherited from fish and tadpoles evolved into human maladies.
- Putting Evolution to Use in the Everyday World . By David P. Mindell Understanding of evolution is fostering powerful technologies for health care, law enforcement, ecology, and all manner of optimization and design problems .
You can see the entire TOC here and all the articles are available online.
The Year of Science 2009 (YoS09) is a national, year-long celebration of science. The goals of the project include engaging the public and improving public understanding about how science works, why it matters, and who scientists are. Each month has a different science theme and Evolution takes center stage in February . As an attempt to raise public awareness, I think the section call “ Exploring Evolutionary Thought ” is particularly useful. It includes brief interviews with more than 20 scientists in which they describe the role that evolution plays in their work.
Science is celebrating the 150th anniversary of the publication of Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species and the 200th anniversary of the author’s birth with a variety of news features, scientific reviews and other special content, all collected here . The materials include:
- An ongoing companion blog titled “Origns: A History of Beginnings” which is organized into the categories, “All Things Darwin”, “Evolution and Culture”, “Origin Essays”, and “The Science of Origins”.
- Podcasts, book reviews and essays related to Darwin and evolution.
- Links to the February 6th issue which focuses on speciation (some of this content requires a subscription).
It should be interesting to watch this collection grow throughout the year.
From a very useful compendium of popular press coverage of Darwin’s Anniversary at the National Center for Science Edcuation:
In recognition of Darwin’s 200th birthday, February 12, 2009, the mass media are again taking notice of Darwin’s life, accomplishments, and importance and influence. Writing to Charles Lyell in 1860, Darwin was wryly amused at the sort of newspaper coverage he was receiving in the wake of the publication of the Origin of Species : “I have received in a Manchester Newspaper a rather … good squib, showing that I have proved ‘might is right’, & therefore that Napoleon is right & every cheating Tradesman is also right.” Fortunately, today’s journalists exhibit a higher degree of accuracy than their Victorian colleagues at the Manchester Guardian ! Herewith a sampling of the recent coverage of the Darwin bicentennial.
