<P class=EC_MsoNormal><FONT face=Calibri size=1><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 8pt">Legendary biologist Edward. O. Wilson from Harvard University has been invited to give Case Western Reserve University’s 2009 Distinguished Lecture on Tuesday, March 3, at 5:30 p.m. at Severance Hall, 11001 Euclid Avenue. The event is free and open to the public through the generous support of Dr. Glenn and Jeanette Grisselli Brown and the Office of Provost and the College Scholars Program.</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal><FONT face=Calibri size=1><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 8pt">Wilson’s talk, “From So Simple a Beginning: Darwin and the Future of Biology,” is one of the university’s notable events for its Year of Darwin and Evolution celebration, an exploration of how Darwin’s ideas have influenced science and our understanding of the world around us.</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal><FONT face=Calibri size=1><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 8pt">“The key problem facing humanity in the coming century is how to bring a better quality of life—for 8 billion or more people—without wrecking the environment entirely in the attempt,” said Wilson.</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal><FONT face=Calibri size=1><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 8pt">Considered the father of modern environmental movement, Wilson is currently working on compiling data of every living species on Earth for the web-based, “The Encyclopedia of Life” project that has received support from the MacArthur Foundation. His writings and work have earned him numerous awards, among which are two Pulitzer Prizes for Nonfiction for <I><SPAN style="FONT-STYLE: italic">Ants</SPAN></I> and <I><SPAN style="FONT-STYLE: italic">On Human Nature</SPAN></I>, Crafoord Prize (1990) and the Nierenberg Prize (2001). His work has been recognized by TIME magazine, which named him one of America’s 25 Most Influential People. </SPAN></FONT></P>
