Can't hide the relief!!
Make students rediscover evolution by reasoning. Check out this project! Students never exposed to evolution used evolutionary thinking to interpret the results. Only afterward we connected this to biology!
If you try it, reach out to us (@izziehb.bsky.social and me) 😊 We'd love to hear feedback!
it's actually from the perspective of an English speaker. this graph version forgot to specify that "little detail"
"The real threat is a slow, comfortable drift toward not understanding what you're doing. Not a dramatic collapse. Just a generation of researchers who can produce results but can't produce understanding. Who know what buttons to press but not why those buttons exist." Who can't reason.
Sounds like blueprint to me!

A block of text that says "Scientists at the University of Miami are carrying out a research study on trends in the field of science communication. For this survey we are defining science communication as work that is done: • by a technical subject area expert in some field related to science, technology, engineering, or mathematics, • outside of classroom settings • aimed at the public If you are 18 years of age or older and work or recently worked in this field (full-time, part-time, or as a side project), please click the link below to complete a short survey. If you are interested in learning more about this research study, please e-mail us at Julia.wester@miami.edu. In the body of your email please provide your full name, and if you would prefer to be contacted by phone, your phone number and the best time to reach you. Contacting us for more information does not commit you to participating, and should you decide to participate you may terminate your participation at any time."
Attention Science Communicators!
We are conducting a survey on the landscape of science communication & need your help gathering experiences.
Please send this to #SciComm ppl you know. We want to get as thorough a sense of the state of the field as we can.

Darter goddess really got me 🤩
I usually refer to her as "darter wizard", looks like I should upgrade it 😄
So hyped to see the paper out!! 🤩
A great within-lab collab: 2 undergrads, 2 postdocs, 1 PI, cute rainbow darters, and much fun! 🌟
Please read (now-faculty ❤️) Kara's recap to learn more about what we did, she has a real knack for storytelling! ⏬️
We're looking for our next cohort of amazing instructors for #CV4Ecology!!
CV4E is an intensive workshop designed to empower ecologists to efficiently process their existing data, design new studies around CV, and scale their research to larger datasets.
This is figure 2, which shows global diversification dynamics of six diverse butterfly families.
Butterflies and moths are key indicators of functioning and healthy ecosystems. A Review in Nature Reviews Biodiversity describes the evolutionary history of the order Lepidoptera and tracks shifts in researchers’ understanding of the clade in the genomic era. go.nature.com/4r0kbgS 🌍 🧪
📣 NEW! I’ve just released the BIGGEST and perhaps most creative project I’ve ever worked on!
“Searching for Birds” searchingforbirds.visualcinnamon.com 🐤
A project, an article, an exploration that dives into the data that connects humans with birds, by looking at how we search for birds.
Want to organise one of our Workshops? You focus on the science, we focus on the logistics. Next deadline for topic proposals: 29 May 2026 The Company of Biologists icon to the left, two people discussing outside to the right
Do you have a vision for a Workshop but don’t have the time to arrange the logistics or raise the funding? Submit your idea to us in our annual call for topics. We'll provide all necessary support for successful applications. Find out more at biologists.com/workshops/pr...

People with PhDs say they spent years during their studies feeling exhausted and lost their work–life balance. Ashley Moses shares how small acts of change have helped to reset and relearn how to rest.
