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.

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
