It’s all happening world-wide on the 12th February – in fact, there’s two events on the go in my town! With many thanks to the Perth Atheists, there’s a celebration of Darwin’s 203rd Birthday at the Perth Zoo:

Join us this Darwin Day in celebration of Charles Darwin’s 203rd birthday. We have some fascinating talks from experienced public speakers and a tour of the zoo lined up.

Lunch at 1 o’clock followed by some talks at approximately 3pm – friends, family and children welcome. Talks (starting at 3pm) include:

MC: David Frank, serial atheist and lay man who fell in love with biology while reading Armand Leroi’s Mutants, and Carl Zimmer’s Evolution: Triumph Of An Idea; Rachael Richards, high school biology teacher; Mike and Mindy Bamford, both zoologists / ecologists / ornithologists / herpetologists – their specialisation is that they specialise in everything!

Check out Perth Zoo for pricing information. The Facebook Event Page is at http://www.facebook.com/events/260047974055001.

If you can’t make it to this event, the WA Humanists are organising their own event from 4pm in Star Swamp, north of Trigg.
