There's science... and then there's fun. Darwin himself collected this plant!
I went to Darwin Day at the Texas Memorial Museum on the UT campus with Sarah Saltwick today. We got in touch with several of our inner kindergarteners.
There was stained glass beetle making, pasta art, digging in the sand box for fossils, looking at a real live rattler, looking at a long dead rattler in a jar of alchohol, more beetles, looking at diatoms under a microscope, face painting, and lots of dinosaur fossils.
We went to get ideas for our own pre-show entertainment - we hope to create lots of fun, hands on things to do.
On the way out, we ran into the photo 'booth'. Here I am as Mr. Darwin himself. Sarah is the tortoise, and a young friend is the blue footed booby.
Then we caught sight of the youngest darwinian at one month old.
