Stories with Mr. Darwin, As Portrayed by Dr. Kenneth Noll of UConn! Thursday, May 9 at 6:00 p.m. (DeMayo room)
At the age of 22, Charles Darwin set sail on a journey that would transform his life and our view of the natural world. The world of 19th century Victorian England was not the staid, tightly controlled society that is sometimes portrayed: it was a world of revolutionary changes in social structures, turbulent debates in religious beliefs, and the birth of the sciences we know today. Charles Darwin was a central player in many of these changes; through it all he was also a dedicated father and husband whose family life was by turns touching and tragic.
Dr. Kenneth Noll will bring Charles Darwin back to life with his electric performance at Hagaman on Thursday, May 9th at 6pm! Professor Kenneth Noll is a retired Professor of Microbiology formerly in the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of Connecticut. He has been portraying Charles Darwin since 2016 at schools, public presentations, scientific events, and museums across Connecticut.
