And the winner...


among 18 entries to the Darwin birthday cake competition is this creative entry featuring barnacle taxonomy (a major research interest of Darwin's) and a gene pool.


This was my personal favorite, a chocolate tiktaalik, a genus of an extinct lobe-finned fish from the late Devonian Period.

There was representation of the geology program in an entry featuring the Galapagos archipelago with volcanic islands made of cake. Great job, NP and MF! Thanks, sincerely, for being there. San Cristobal Island was particularly yummy.

Additionally, dean Judd Case was a fine stand-in for the man of honor.

Everyone who entered this fun event is getting an environmental science t-shirt.
