Class Notes

Henry Stewart Talks

Following a successful trial, we now have a subscription to a new database: Henry Stewart Talks - The Biomedical and Life Sciences Collection which can be accessed (on & off campus)

The Biomedical & Life Sciences Collection contains over 950 online audio-visual seminar-style talks each specially commissioned by leading scientists (including Nobel Laureates) from around the world. This new resource is perfect for the classroom setting, in the lab, for your research, as part of your course curriculum and as a study/reference tool for your students.

Charles Darwin Bicentennial Exhibition

Today, Thursday 12th February is Darwin Day, the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin.

To celebrate the occasion, a new exhibition is now available for viewing:

The Charles Darwin Bicentennial: UCC Celebrates Natural History and the Victorian Scholar

Location: Exhibition Area Boole Library

The exhibition displays rare and influential works from UCC Library’s Special Collections, by Darwin and those who influenced him.

The books are enhanced by specimens from UCC’s Zoology and Geology Museums.

Highlights include:

A rare first edition of Origin of Species, along with a wide range of Darwin first editions, including Descent of Man.

Specimens from UCC’s Zoology Museum, including two actually collected by Charles Darwin himself in Patagonia, South America, during the H.M.S. Beagle voyage, under the command of Captain Robert Fitz Roy (1831-1836). Acquired by Queen’s College Cork for its Natural History Museum, they provide a direct tangible link with the young Darwin, naturalist on the voyage.

Specimens from the Geology Museum that illustrate the fossil record, including a complete Ichthyosaur, over 250 million years old, and the transitional fossil Archaeopteryx, also known as “first bird”. Archaeopteryx discovered in 1861, only two years after Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species, became a key piece of evidence in the debate over evolution.

Beautifully illustrated works including a full set of the original volumes of The Zoology of the voyage of H.M.S. Beagle, under the command of Captain Fitzroy, R.N., during the years 1832 to 1836 with John Gould’s famous bird descriptions.

The exhibition will run until the end of March, so I do hope you get a chance to drop in sometime.
