What do monkey trials, pandemics & climate change have in common? This July, Vanderbilt becomes the epicenter of science, #history & #evolution. #Scopes100 #ISEMPH2025 @ncse.bsky.social @evmed.bsky.social https://loom.ly/aSQj4PQ
Split-image promoting the Scopes Trial Centennial Symposium and ISEMPH Conference. Left side: a black-and-white photo of John Scopes in a straw hat, glasses, and tie, representing the 1925 trial. Right side: a color photo of a gloved hand using a micropipette to fill test tubes in a lab setting, symbolizing modern scientific research. The contrast highlights the enduring relevance of science and evolution in public discourse.

Saw some of these on display at ISEMPH2025 today! Another conference attendee was admiring the artwork, so of course I had to tell her that one of your daughters was the artist!!

Failure to recognize that bodies are not machines causes serious problems...Thinking that genes and emotions each have specific functions is a fundamental misunderstanding
Much more in the article.

🗓️ Big Week Ahead!
Tues-Thurs: #ISEMPH2025 Conference. Diving into the latest in evolutionary medicine with brilliant minds from around the world!
Sat–Sun: Scopes “Monkey” Trial Centennial Symposium. Reflecting on 100 years since Scopes was found guilty of teaching #evolution.
Square digital illustration split vertically: the left half features a blue gradient background with a large, stylized DNA helix; the right half shows a sepia-toned backdrop with a black silhouette of a crouching monkey holding a judge’s gavel. A faint tree of life diagram appears behind the monkey, symbolizing evolution. The two halves blend smoothly in the center, visually linking science and the historical Scopes Trial theme.
