Weaving Memory: Monotypes by Melanie Yazzie, presented in conjunction with Navajo Weaving: Diamonds, Dreams, Landscapes, is an exhibition of prints by artist Melanie Yazzie.

Evolution: Here and Now

 

Evolution: Here and Now
Evolution is a hot topic today, with enthusiastic media coverage ranging from public controversy to exciting new discoveries. The word "evolution" simply means "change over time," and scientific knowledge itself evolves as researchers add to what is already understood about the world.

Evolution: Here and Now presents the cutting-edge research of six University of Colorado-Boulder scientists who are approaching the study of evolution from six vastly different directions. Join us as we look through contemporary eyes at the study of evolution: here and now.
