UA evolution series to be on TV

Tucson, Arizona | Published: 06.06.2006
The UA College of Science's popular public lecture series on evolution will be broadcast this summer on television.
In the series this spring semester, seven University of Arizona researchers presented information on evolution ranging from the Big Bang to disease evolution.
The lectures also will be podcast from the college's Web site, though it's undetermined precisely when they'll be available.
The lectures start this week, on a Monday and Sunday broadcast schedule on the UA Channel, Cox 19 and Comcast 76. The lectures cover biological evolution, the Big Bang and cosmic evolution, the Earth's formation, social evolution, animal evolution, human evolution and DNA, and disease evolution illustrated by HIV.
For more information and a complete schedule, visit the www.uachannel.com Web site. The podcasts will be available at http://cos.arizona.edu/evolution online.
The series was so popular the promoters had to keep moving it to larger venues, ending up at Centennial Hall, where 800 people attended the final lecture.
A new series on climate change will be offered this fall, starting Oct. 17.
