If you have not previously participated we hope that 2006 will be the year you join in the fun and informal education. The increasing response to this idea appears to be at least partially due to the attempts of fundamentalists to discredit the scientific theory of evolution with superstition and pseudo-science under the guise of "intelligent design." It's time for science educators to respond creatively -- and now is the time to begin planning for 2006! By giving a little of your time to develop a Celebration appropriate for your institution, collectively we can make great strides in educating the general public. Please take a little time to visit our website www.darwinday.org where we maintain extensive information that will help you plan your EVENT. In addition, the websites listed below are examples of university postings of Celebrations held in 2005 -- many others from the past 4 years appear on our website. < http://essig.berkeley.edu/pages/darwin.htm > < http://facstaff.uww.edu/mckinnoj/uwwdarwinday2005.html > < http://www.salemstate.edu/%7Epkelly/darwin/ > < http://eeb.bio.utk.edu/darwin/ > and < http://ltc.cr.duq.edu/bsnes/darwinday/ > The staff here at www.darwinday.org has been very busy this past year and we are pleased to report that the DarwinDay organization has greatly improved its website and our ability to communicate with large numbers of people. This ability will allow us to encourage the development of many more Darwin Day Celebrations worldwide. Please take time to read the new information we have recently posted, and that will be frequently updated on the DarwinDay home-page under 'Don't Miss These Current Articles.' There are also improvements to be found in most sections of the website. For instance under "News & Views" we have recently added statements and essays that support evolution and the need to celebrate Darwin, Science and Humanity -- so do take a little time to browse! Another goal that we hope to achieve during the remainder of this year and throughout 2006 is to translate our website into a number of additional languages so that the international nature of the festivities will be even more of a reality. I'm pleased to report that this process has begun and our first postings will come later this month. Finally we have introduced a section on the Home page about /Two Emancipators,/ born on the same day in the same year; Abraham Lincoln, emancipator of the American slaves, and Charles Darwin, emancipator of the human mind.
