The University of North Florida Department of Biology and the First Coast Freethought Society are sponsoring a panel discussion titled “Science Under Seige: The Attack on Evolution” at 7 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 13, at the University Center Banquet Hall on the UNF campus. This event is free and open to the public.

The panel discussion, followed by a question-and-answer session, will be moderated by Ken Hurley, president of ACLU Jacksonville. Panel members include UNF professors Dr. Anthony M. Rossi, biologist; Dr. Matthew R. Gilg, biologist; Dr. Jay S. Huebner, physicist and astronomer; and Dr. Gordon F. M. Rakita, anthropologist.

Panelists will outline the key concepts of evolutionary theory, its relevance to present-day humanity and how they think it deserves its rightful place in public education as one of the foundations of biology.
