As a scientific theory, evolution has a unique place in our society—most people have strong opinions about it, but few really know what it says. Misunderstandings and misperceptions about the science of evolution will be addressed in short lectures by two WSU scientists: "What Evolution Isn't" (Dr. Mike Webster, School of Biological Sciences), and "10 Ways That Evolution Impacts Your Everyday Life" (Dr. Dan Rodgers, Department of Animal Sciences). Audience members are invited to discuss these issues with a panel of experts after the talks.
