Happy birthday, Charles Darwin

Today is the bicentennial of the birth of one of the most influential scientists of all time: Charles Robert Darwin.

I’m down with the flu today, so there will be no long tribute posted here. Instead, I will refer you to our previous posts on evolution, and to elsewhere in the blogosphere:

• On this, the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth
• 10 simple ways to honor Charlie D
• 200 years since Darwin’s birth, what about medicine?
• The gustatory voyage of the Beagle, part I

and the mildly hilarious

• Happy birthday, Charles Dickens

OK, that’s it for now. Wish me well - and happy Darwin Day, everyone!
