More than 200 JSRCC students and area high school students attended the 7th Annual Science Night at the College. Discussion topics included fascinating insights to human evolution, evidence of life preserved in fossils, and the anatomy of the first line of human defense – skin.
“I was very pleased to see the record attendance. I created Science Night at the College seven years ago, and my goal was to host an event that the Richmond community could enjoy and see how great instruction at JSRCC really is,” said Richard Groover, the event coordinator. “This year the presenters excelled again. Professor Bryan Rhodes continued a lively discussion with attendees after the event on the facts regarding evolution, which was a bit unusual but exciting to see occur.”
Assistant Professor of Biology William Mott presented “Enjoy the Skin that You’re In,” Associate Professor of Geology David Walz presented “Fossils: The History of Life in the Geologic Record,” and Assistant Professor of Biology, Dr. Bryan Rhodes presented “Becoming Human: Recent Advances in Human Evolution.” Professor Shalini Upadhyaya assisted in coordinating the event and handled the refreshments.
