Presenting the 28th fabulous year of the Darwin Day Birthday Gala, Sacramento's coolest, most singular, and most go-to event of science and humanity, brought to you by area science advocates, civic groups, and nerds on too much coffee. An in-person event at the MOSAC Science Museum, marking “Chuck” Darwin's 216th birthday. Open to all. But you'll need a ticket.

Darwin Day is a science rush like no other, a celebration of scientific inquiry honoring the life and work of the great Charles Darwin (b. 12 February 1809), sponsored worldwide by community and educational groups. The main speaker will be Jeff Rodgers, Manager of the UC Davis Multiverse Theater at MOSAC, an accomplished science communicator with three decades of experience exploring the intersectionality of the natural sciences. His topic is “On Becoming Human.”
