While the life forms are widely different from each other\, they are also “dependent on each other in so complex a manner.” \nOur guest of honor\, Dr. Gogarten\, will explore the symbiotic relationships and genetic exchange between different organisms in his presentation\, followed by a fireside chat and audience Q&A.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday\, February 7th\, 2026\n5pm Cocktail Hour\n6pm Dinner\, Presentation\, & Fireside Chat\nThe Water’s Edge at Giovanni’s\n2748 Boston Post Road\nDarien\, CT 06820 \n$79 per person for the Early Bird rate\nAfter January 16th\, $90 per person\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor more information\, including special student pricing*\, alternative payment methods\, and sponsorship opportunities contact Amy at info@darwindayct.org. \n*Student pricing: Each year we invite local high school  students who are passionate about science to join us for this celebration — and to help their tables with the Science Quiz!

And bring your own students!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nDr. Johann Peter Gogarten is a German-American biologist studying the early evolution of life. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology and the International Society for the Study of the Origin of Life\, a member of the CT Academy of Science and Engineering\, University of Connecticut’s Board of Trustees Distinguished Professor of Molecular and Cell Biology/Microbiology and a former Fulbright scholar. \nBorn in Bad Oeynhausen\, Germany\, Dr. Gogarten studied plant physiology and membrane transport at the Universities of Tübingen and Giessen. In 1987 he moved to the U.S. as a postdoc to work at the University of California at Santa Cruz. He currently is Distinguished Professor of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of Connecticut. \nGogarten was the first person to root the Tree of life (biology) using an ancient gene duplication. Gogarten’s current focus is the evolution of homing endonuclease utilizing parasitic genetic elements (inteins) and the intertwining of selection occurring on the gene\, population and the community level. \nTo Register – Use QR code or registration link below: \n \nDarwinDayCT.org
