Penn State Ecology Seminar Series

The following comes from the Huck Institute of the Life Sciences at Penn State. I will surely be at Judge John E. Jones's presentation on March 16th for his presentation on the Constitution. He was the judge in the landmark Kitzmiller v. Dover "intelligent design" trial in 2005 that found intelligent design creationism unconstitutional to teach in public schools.

"Upcoming talks in the Ecology Seminar Series, presented by the Penn State Intercollege Graduate Degree Program in Ecology. Most talks take place on Mondays at 1.30pm in 101 Agricultural Science and Industries Building (ASI) on the University Park campus. However, there are a few exceptions to this."
