Darwin Day at Duquesne 2/12 (Pittsburgh)
Dear Pittsburgh-area friends of NCSE,
I thought that you'd like to know that John Doebley of the University of Wisconsin, Madison, will be giving a Darwin Day talk on "Darwin, Wallace, and Domestication" at 7:00 p.m. on February 12, in the Power Center Ballroom on the campus of Duquesne University in Pittsburgh.
Join Dr. John Doebley as he discusses the genetic basis for the change in form under domestication and whether any patterns are beginning to emerge. Dr. Doebley has spent the last 20 years examining the genetic similarities and differences between teosinte and maize, cloning the major genes that cause differences between the plants."
The talk and following reception is free and open to the public. For further information, visit:
