Darwin



As I mentioned the department are having Darwin talks - and every time someone starts they show their University's image of Darwin. Just as I was wondering if we had one, Buzz (Uni newspaper) dropped on my desk with a picture of Darwin in it. Of course, he looms above the Great Hall along with several other scientists of note - actually I didn't check, they might not all be scientists! Pottering along, I thought how am I going to tell who's who all that way up but they were handily labelled in gold paint and weren't so far up in the end! I think he's looking rather compassionate here - Watt and Faraday looked decidedly grumpy!

Oh wow, I have never known about this! Must take a better look next time I'm on the campus!!

By the way, has anyone taken up your evolution challenge yet? If not, I'll do February!

Yes I have people booked in up til May at the moment but we can always double up if you fancy Feb too, or you can take the June spot

I'll take the June spot then!I can always start experimenting beforehand!
I think it's a brilliant idea, by the way!
