Thanks to Travis Wheeler (@wheelerlab.org), Danny Mandel, and Andrew Lenards, the original programmers for ToLWeb, for retooling the code to work on a modern OS! It is hard for me to believe it lives again.

I had a wonderful time working w/educators last week at the National Rural STEM Summit. In my workshop, "Innovative Anatomy: Animal Skulls & Evolutionary Biology in the Classroom," we explored how skeletal specimens can be powerful tools for teaching anatomy, evolution, ecology & comparative biology

Ten years ago Tami, Roy, and I released a movie we made of antibiotic resistance evolving in real time. I thought maybe a couple thousand people tops would see it.
I couldn't have imagined it would be seen millions of times, and be taught from middle school through the graduate level worldwide

It had been with us since 2017, so a little glow-up was definitely overdue.

There are some really interesting topics in the collection of @evokeproject.bsky.social webinars - I’m so impressed with the multi sensory evolution outreach in the evALLution project by Telma Laurentino
From the strange mating habits of spider mites, multisensory approaches to evolution education, to what the science of self-confidence tells us about evolution acceptance, and more
