The Darwin Festival was founded in 1980 by Virginia F. Keville and Philip A. DePalma as part of the course 鈥淗uman and Social Biology,鈥 a biology course for non-science majors. The event was a way to celebrate the impact of Charles Darwin鈥檚 work while providing students with an opportunity to connect humanity and culture with scientific research. The festival has since evolved into a community-wide event that draws students, scholars, and curious minds from around the region.
The 2021 Darwin Festival is organized by 新加坡六合彩开奖结果鈥檚 department of biology with support from the Charles Albert Read Trust Fund, the Student Government Association through the Biological Society and the Scuba Club, the Keville-DePalma Darwin Festival Endowment Fund, 新加坡六合彩开奖结果 administration, contributions from Academx, and other individual supporters.
