Darwin Day in the Terre di Pisa

The Anglo-Saxon world has long commemorated Charles Darwin’s birth (12 February) with conferences, meetings, debates and events celebrating the values of scientific research and rational thought. Since 2003, the UAAR has also organised Darwin Day in Italy with scientists, lecturers and science journalists.

The Botanical Garden and Museum is organising a meeting on the theme of “Pollination: a long history of interactions between plants and animals” on Thursday 12 February at 3.30 p.m. in Savi Lecture Hall.
Massimo Nepi (Full Professor at the University of Siena) will guide the audience through the mechanisms and strategies behind pollination, a process essential for the evolution and diversity of plants. Participation in the event is free of charge. No reservation is required.
