If You're at the Smithsonian...

...make sure you check out the Darwin exhibit and the ant exhibit at the National Museum of Natural History. The Darwin exhibit (TEH DARWINISMZ!!) has a really good introduction to natural selection that's readily accessible for non-biologists--I hope school trips take advantage of this exhibit and visit it (TEH EVOLUTIONISMZ!!). The ant exhibit has some amazing pictures, as well as a pretty cool leafcutter colony.
