The American Society for Cell Biology celebrated the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth a little early. The ASCB’s 2006 Annual Meeting showcased a symposium on “Deciphering Darwin” featuring three researchers from the cutting edge of the “new” New Synthesis in evolutionary biology. This is “Darwinism” today, serving as a dynamic research tool in modern laboratories where new discoveries in genomic and molecular biology underscore the truth behind Theodosius Dobzhansky’s famous dictum, “Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution.”
