Shaping the Tree of Life: Speciation and Extinction on a Changing Planet The Department of Biological Sciences invites you to the 31st Annual Darwin Day Celebration. Join us for a lecture and discussion by Dr. Erica Bree Rosenblum, University of California, Berkeley. Dr. Erica Bree Rosenblum is one of the rising stars of evolutionary biology. Her research crosses scales from genes to ecosystems, and takes her from the White Sands desert in New Mexico where new lizard species are forming, to rainforests in South America where amphibians are threatened with extinction. Her discoveries have been featured in the New York Times, New Scientist, and numerous textbooks. Her public lecture will reveal how new species form, and why species are being lost at such an alarming rate in our contemporary world.
