Here's the Darwin Society termcard for Michaelmas

Here's the Darwin Society termcard for Michaelmas 2023, featuring quizzes, movie nights, a Herbarium tour, formal swaps, and more!

Some events are still in the process of being organised - we'll update later on with more details. :)

The time has come to meet your new Darwin Society

The time has come to meet your new Darwin Society Committee for the 2023-2024 academic year!

Our committee members not only share a passion for natural sciences, but are also excited to be running a variety of events, for natural science students and interested friends! Our termcard (featuring formal swaps, academic talks, visits, and more) will be released soon - watch this space. :)

We are delighted to announce that booking for the

We are delighted to announce that booking for the Darwin Dinner and Lecture (taking place this year on 11 March) is now open!

We will welcome Professor Raymond Goldstein FRS, Schlumberger Professor of Complex Physical Systems in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, to give the Darwin Lecture in the Yusuf Hamied Theatre at 5:45pm; this will be followed by a drinks reception and a four-course dinner in Formal Hall, starting at 7:30pm. Professor Goldstein is a physicist, renowned for his work on nonequilibrium phenomena in biological systems, particularly the physics of multicellularity and the dynamics of cytoplasmic streaming; in addition, he won the Ig Nobel Prize for Physics in 2012 for his work on human pony-tails. He will be speaking on the "Evolution of Biological Complexity".

You are welcome to attend the lecture without attending the dinner. Thanks to the generous contribution of the college's fellows, the dinner (without wine) has been subsidised to a cost of £20 per person. Wine will cost an additional £11.95 per person if requested.

Hello everyone!

Week 8 has arrived, which means we are nearing the end of Michaelmas. Darwin Society is hosting a fun and relaxing movie night tomorrow (27/11/2022) from 7pm to 9:30pm with the Christ's College History Society to celebrate the great work we've all done this term. The movie choice is to be determined.

Spoiler alert: We are spending the remainder of the term's budget, so there will be plenty of free food.

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

Tomorrow, the Darwin Society has planned a series

Tomorrow, the Darwin Society has planned a series of short and interesting undergraduate talks to celebrate the end of Week 7! The topics range from neurobiology to material sciences, so you should be able to find something (and possibly refreshments) that interests you.

Hello, we hope everyone is doing well in week 6.

Hello, we hope everyone is doing well in week 6.

We have scheduled a tour of the Cambridge University Herbarium with Dr. Lauren M. Gardiner at the end of the term. We believe that the tour will be a fun and interactive way to learn about the herbarium's wonderful plant collection.

If you are interested, please sign up as soon as possible using this link, as we only have 12 spots available: https://forms.gle/5SYJ1uQZknQQry62A

Emergency announcement: We are having an intercollegiate bar crawl (to college bars) with Gonvile & Caius, Sidney Sussex, St. John’s and Trinity tomorrow evening!

Participants are meeting at Trinity’s great gate at 8pm. It would be a great chance to meet some fellow natural scientists- but don’t forget to control alcohol intake!

Hello everyone! We are pleased to announce that Prof. David Norman will discuss Darwin on the upcoming Monday in order to cure your week 5 blues. It will be a light and interesting talk, and we hope to see you in the Lloyd room at 6:15 p.m.
