On Thursday, April 19, Thompson-Nicola Regional Libraries, in partnership with Thompson Rivers University (TRU), will kick off the new Dean’s Lecture Series with Darwin’s Voyage Revisited: A Biologist’s Reflections hosted by Tom Dickinson, TRU dean of science.
Dickinson will retrace Darwin’s voyage on the Beagle and re-examine some of Darwin’s conclusions in light of contemporary scientific thinking about geology, ecology, and evolutionary biology.
The TRU dean of science is well known to many in the Clearwater area as he has been involved in the Wells Gray Park research and education centre for many years.
