Save the Date: Kenneth Miller, Ph.D., to Receive 2009 Mendel Medal

On Friday, Nov. 20, Kenneth R. Miller, Ph.D., a professor of biology at Brown University, will deliver the 2009 Mendel Medal Lecture -- "Darwinian Grandeur: A Biologist’s Journey Through Evolution’s 'Tangled Bank'" -- in the Connelly Center Cinema (refreshments will be served at 2 p.m.; the lecture begins at 2:30 p.m.). This is an event not to be missed. On Saturday, he will be awarded the Mendel Medal. Dr. Miller is a pre-eminent evolutionary scientist.
