In an effort to increase K12 student awareness about Darwin and his scientific contributions, the biology department is happy to sponsor visits of "Darwin Delegations" to area K12 schools. These delegations will be composed of Brandeis students and/or faculty and are willing to give short talks on an aspect of Evolution important to either the class (level). Alternatively, or in addition, the delegations can also lead hands-on workshops for the students on classification, taxonomy, diversity etc. Please contact Melissa Kosinski-Collins (kosinski@brandeis.edu) for further details or to arrange a visit.
