Welcome BASS Meeting V!
When: Friday, February 5th, 5:00-6:30 pm
Where: Kerckhoff 135
This week, UCLA Professor Friscia will be presenting a talk on Charles
Darwin the naturalist.
“Charles Darwin was many things, but the title that served him best in perfecting his idea of evolution by natural selection is Naturalist. He was a keen observer of nature, a skill he developed even before his famous trip around the world on the Beagle, and which he continued to use well into old age. While there are still great naturalists today, venturing out and observing nature and drawing conclusions based on those basic observations is unfortunately not the kind of academic work that gets funded. Nevertheless there should be a place for this kind of fundamental natural history knowledge, both in academic research as well as among the lay population. It doesn’t take large sums of money or equipment to do it, and the information it can gather are invaluable to the complex ecological and evolutionary studies that move these fields forward.”
If you come to one BASS meeting this quarter, this week is a good choice.
As usual, we will also have snacks and open discussion.

The Westboro Baptist Church (run by the Phelps family) is the group best known for those colorful “God Hates Fags” signs, which they use to picket soldier funerals, among other things. They appeared at Beverly Hills today, so we organized a group of mostly BASS members to go counter-protest them.
