Science on Tap: Darwin's Backyard "Experimentising"
Monday, March 25th, 5:30 - 7:00 pm
Rising Silo Brewery, Blacksburg
Join biologist Jim Costa of Western Carolina University on a backyard adventure a la Charles Darwin. Darwin loved playing around with experiments that involved his entire household, including his kids, and the world outside his backdoor. Costa, author of the book Darwin's Backyard, will show us some of these experiments and discuss his work studying this iconic biologist's biography and history.
