The NCSE would like to remind us that Darwin Day is approaching (it’s less than a month away — do you still need to buy Darwin presents?), and Glenn Branch wants you to take Darwin on your shoulder with you, wherever you go, whether “at the museum or in a pew, at a lecture hall or in a movie theater, out in the park or indoors on a badminton court — to learn about, discuss, and celebrate Darwin…”

Here’s an even better idea: why not stand up for academic freedom and remember what Darwin said about fair results and balancing both sides of the question? And if you’re a student, see if you can win $500 while you’re at it.
