Conference 8-13 February 2009
Melbourne Convention Centre Australia
Come Share in a Unique Experience
You are invited to come to Melbourne to share in a unique conference experience, celebrating the 200th anniversary of Darwin’s birth (February 12, 1809) and the 150th anniversary of the publication of the Origin of the Species
When Charles Darwin came to Australia on the voyage of HMS Beagle in 1836 he was an obscure English naturalist.
23 years later the publication of Darwin’s book, Origin of the Species, sparked an intellectual, social and spiritual revolution.
It radically transformed our understanding of life on this planet – the origins of life, our relationship to other species and the way life can adapt or fail to do so in the face of environmental change.
Evolution – the Experience will explore the breadth and depth of Darwin’s ongoing impact in basic biology, agriculture, medicine, psychology, sociology, politics, history and religion.
Evolution – the Experience will be embedded in rich menu of public events, each in their own way touching the Darwinian theme – theatre, film, forums, debates and exhibitions involving theatre companies, orchestras, cinemas, museums, art galleries, libraries, botanic gardens, zoos, herbaria, schools, universities and the media. And on February 12, 2009 there will be a unique birthday celebration for Charles Darwin.
Register your interest in being part of this extraordinary experience so that we can keep you updated of all key information.

Michael,
I'm hoping you can help me solve a little blog mystery. My one, meager Darwin post, that I wrote about two months ago, has been getting loads of traffic for the last couple weeks -swamping every other post on my site. It's not referral traffic from your site or the Beagle Blog. Could it be related to the Genius of Darwin Series? "Darwin" has been listed daily as a search term that people are using to find my site. That being said, I must be about 3000th on the list of Darwin links that comes up from such a search. I was wondering if you had any ideas. Have you seen anything similar happen on your blog?
Hi Michael - That seems like alot of hits for that one post - I haven't seen anything similar for my site, then again I don't look at my SiteMeter and ClustrMaps very often. When I look at referrals for my site in the SiteMeter, it shows "unknown" for all. What are you using to look at your site's stats?
Just the Wordpress stats page. It doesn't give a lot of info except to say which posts are getting hits. It doesn't say much about where the hits are coming from. It seems to me that if there were a lot of internet searches for Darwin, your hits would be going through the roof (as would Karen's). But this is not the case? Strange.
Maybe there's a teacher out their assigning my post to students as a lesson in grammatical errors.
