Darwin Day

12/2/22 feb

If I had my life to live over again, I would have made a rule to read some poetry and listen to some music at least once every week.” “A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.”
                                                  - Darwin 
Darwin Day is an annual, international commemoration of the birthday and ideas of Charles Darwin, a British naturalist born February 12, 1809, and author of the seminal book On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection.

The first organized Darwin Day events took place in 1995, and were organized by the Humanist Community of Palo Alto, California. The years since have seen Darwin Day celebrations around the world increasing annually on a steady scale.

In 2006, the Paleontological Research Institution and its Museum of the Earth, in collaboration with Cornell University and Ithaca College, celebrated the first official Darwin Day in Ithaca, New York, with a five-day series of panel discussions, film screenings, speakers, and workshops, aimed at increasing awareness of Darwin’s theory and its relevance today, in the Ithaca community and beyond.

Join us this year on February 6 - 12 as we navigate the wild world of evolution through our annual celebration of the life and ideas of Charles Darwin. This year we are excited to offer both virtual and in person events exploring the incredible world of insects. Their ancestors first walked on land 400 million years ago, and without them, the world as we know it would not exist.

Most programs for this event this year are offered free of charge, but please consider contributing to our educational programs so that we can continue to offer resources and information to our community.

Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it, and above all become passionate about it. Lukewarm is no good. Hot is no good either. White hot and passionate is the only thing to be.”                                             – Roald Dahl  ### Day to begins The day 2 was begin by the school assembly and then we headed to library and record all the information about the school and Collected magazine and noted all their activities and works .

"When you remember me, it means that you have carried something of who I am with you, that I have left some mark of who I am on who you are.
