Four of Philadelphia's most venerable scientific institutions are bringing bigger brains to the people in the people's favorite venue � the pub.� Science On Tap is a continuing series of free, brief presentations by experts in their fields, followed by lively group discussion, all over a pint.
Science On Tap convenes the second Monday of every month at National Mechanics, with each of the four institutions (The Academy of Natural Sciences, the American Philosophical Society Museum, the Chemical Heritage Foundation, and the Wagner Free Institute of Science) rotating speaker responsibilities.
Tonight, the American Philosophical Society Museum hosts Scott Gilbert, professor of biology at Swarthmore College and a leader in the field of evolutionary developmental biology. Gilbert will present �How The Tortoises Got Their Shells And The Finches Got Their Beaks: The Role of Evo-Devo in Solving Darwin�s Dilemmas."
Ponder Darwin's finches quietly over 22 ounces of Lagunitas Zappa Lumpy Gravy IPA, or see if you can start a nerd riot by leaping onto your table and howling, "Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny, pencil-necks!"
