Darwin Day 2026
Our lab participated in this year’s Darwin Day event at Texas A&M University, held at The Gardens. The event highlights biology for the public and emphasizes the importance of science outreach.
We showcased our research on Veterinary Parasitology and diagnostics through hands-on demonstrations and interactive displays. We engaged members of the public with fun activities ranging from games like “Guess the Number of Worms in the Jar’ to crayon art for kids. And of course, Candy!
Darwin Day provides an important opportunity to share science directly with the community, from little kids to adults, and to inspire people throughout the globe to reflect on and act on the principles of intellectual bravery, perpetual curiosity, scientific thinking, and a hunger for truth, as embodied by Charles Darwin. For our students, it also develops their public speaking skills, essential for explaining complex research in lay language.
