The Galapagos
&
Astronomy in Chile

When you hear of the Galapagos, you might think of Charles Darwin and the theory of evolution. Today the Galapagos remain a focus of ecotourism and scientific study. Today we’ll talk with Dr. Bob Rothman, Professor of Biology at the Rochester Institute of Technology. He’ll tell us about the Galapagos and what it’s like to visit. We’ll also talk about astronomy in Chile, and the growing trend of astrotourism.
