Mission Statement

The dual mission of Darwin-Day is to promote the public education of science and in addition to promote the celebration of science and humanity throughout the global community including -- the general public, private and public institutions, science professionals, science educators at all levels, libraries, museums, the print and electronic media and science enthusiasts everywhere.
