-For Members-
Spread the word! D-Day posters available in our pigeon hole in the SAO office, second floor. I need someone to take ~30 flyers to Terry/Lander, specifically.
Please help us table! To sign up for a time, please post a comment to this post. We will be tabling Monday & Tuesday.
-Resources-
Darwin Day 2008 Poster
Darwin Day 2008 Brochure
Darwin Day 2008 Button Sheet
-Important Updates-
Room has changed to Gowen 301 to fit a larger capacity
The head chef of the McMahon 8 is agnostic, and would is happy to hold a Darwin-Day feast! Dishes will (definitely) include Darwin Fish, (maybe) primordial stew, (maybe) Darwin’s Finches (chicken), and some other surprises. In response, the post-event meal will now be held in the McMahon 8.

I’m game for tabling.
On Tuesday, I can join around 2:45.
On Monday, I can show up around 11:30 or 11:45 and stay until whenever. If anyone else wants to do FSM on Monday, I can wear my pirate costume and bring the signs. Can also lend pirate-y accessories/garments to other girls (medium sizes for the most part).
Looking forward to this.
Your poster and brochure do not specify any date. I assume you mean to run informational tables but you do not specify times. Must you be a student to volunteer for that?
Natural Selection, tomorrow’s Comprehension

Chapter II
Natural Selection Is A Two Level Interdependent Affair
1) Evolution ensues from genome/genes modifications (”mutations”), inherently ever more of them as new functional options arise for the organism.
2) Modifications of genome’s functional capabilities can be explained by the second-stratum organism’s culture-life-experience feedbacks to its genome, its prime/base organism. The route-modification selection of a replicating gene, when it is at its alternative-splicing-steps junctions, is biased by the feedback gained by the genome, the parent organism, from the culture-life-experience of its progeny big organism. THIS IS HOW EVOLUTION COMES ABOUT.
3) The challenge now is to figure out the detailed seperate steps involved in introducing and impressing the big organism’s experiences (culture) feedbacks on its founding parents’ genome’s genes, followed by the detailed seperate steps involved in biasing-directing the genes to prefer-select the biased-favored splicing.
4) I find it astonishing that only very few persons, non-professional as well as professional biologists-evolutionists, have the clear conception that selection for survival occurs on two interdependent levels - (a) during the life of the second-stratum progeny organism in its environment, and (b) during the life of its genome, which is also an organism. Most, if not all, persons think - incorrectly - that evolution is about randomly occurring genes-genome modifications (”mutations”) followed with selection by survival of the progeny organism in its environment. Whereas actually evolution is the interdependent , interactive and interenhencing selection at both the two above levels.
