Happy birthday Charles!
Charles Darwin was born 200 years ago today.
The BBC has a nice webpage for this event
http://www.bbc.co.uk/darwin/
Unfortunately the iPlayer only works in the UK.
Check out the incomparable David Attenborough:

In the USA, the PBS is doing its best to contradict religious prejudice:

When I interview prospective PhD students for our department I often ask them who is the greatest (or most important) scientist of all time? Obviously there is no right answer, but many possible wrong answers (Thomas Edison was one choice).
Galileo (my choice), Newton, Einstein and Darwin are surely on everyone's list?
