On Friday, June 27, 2008, the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) invites you to join leading thinkers in Evolution and Darwinism for a fascinating one-day Darwin Symposium. Five noted experts will make 40-minute presentations on their ongoing research within their areas of expertise, with a question and answer period after each talk.

This free event takes place in the Signy & Cleophee Eaton Theatre on Level B1 beginning at 10:30 am (Museum admission is not included. Enter through the Loblaws entrance on the south side of the building).

The Darwin Symposium is one of the many exciting lectures, courses and events offered by ROMLife.

The symposium coincides with Darwin: The Evolution Revolution, the most in-depth exhibition ever assembled on the revolutionary thinker whose theory changed our understanding of the origin and nature of all species, on display at the ROM until August 4, 2008.
