Speaker: Dr. Martin Hudson, Professor of Biology at Kennesaw State University
Title: “Evolution and adaptation: why a worm’s brain is not so different from ours”

Faculty, staff, and students are invited to join us as Dr. Martin Hudson, a UK native who works for KSU, will talk about the value of evolution in his work on genetics health conditions and his use of model organisms in his work. In addition to this talk, the KSU community is invited to join the college and Global Education for a reception in the Prillaman Health Sciences Building, room HS 1001, from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm.

The College of Science and Mathematics, in collaboration with Global Education’s Year of UK initiative, presents Year of United Kingdom: UK's Legacy in Science, a Spring 2026 lecture series highlighting the United Kingdom’s enduring contributions to modern science. These lectures celebrate the UK's impact on modern science through the seminal discipline of evolution as first described by Charles Darwin, a quintessential figure of the UK whose work in evolution transformed biology and influenced disciplines ranging from medicine to environmental science.
