DESCRIPTION:The UAB Department of Biology presents 2026 Darwin Day. \n\nEve
 nts:\n\nPoster Session and Reception: 6:00-7:00 p.m.\n\nJoin the Departmen
 t of Biology for a public poster session highlighting current research.\n\
 nKeynote Lecture by Andrea Bodnar\, Ph.D.: 7:00-8:00 p.m.\n\nTopic: "The O
 cean’s Methuselahs - Genomic Signatures of Exceptional Longevity and Neg
 ligible Aging in Sea Urchins"\n\nAbout the presenter: Dr. Andrea Bodnar is
  the Science Director at the Gloucester Marine Genomics Institute\, where 
 she works at the intersection of marine biology and human health. She has 
 a unique background\, with formal training in biochemistry and neuroscienc
 e that led her to a position as a Senior Scientist at the Molecular Discov
 ery Lab at the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (BIOS)\, where she cond
 ucted research using sea urchins to understand the cellular and molecular 
 mechanisms underlying longevity. Her current work takes advantage of the c
 lose genetic relationship between humans and urchins to understand the mol
 ecular and cellular pathways controlling lifespan and disease resistance\,
  searching for novel strategies for combating age-related diseases.\n\nEve
