Yesterday we celebrated Darwin’s 214th birthday with the McClung Museum of Natural History! Several EEB faculty and graduate students hosted tables at the event with specimens, fossils, and evolutionary board games.

Beside her reads the text, "My Project on conservation of Appalachian mammal refugia has allowed me to not only meet with state and federal agencies, but to present at conferences and interact with people on the frontlines of managing our resources day in and day out in the region."

Huge shoutout to whoever is responsible for updating the signs on the Erwin Linear Trail to inform visitors on the rich heritage and biodiversity in the region! Great job! This is model outreach that we need in cities. @erwinrecord#cityplanning#outreach
My students are the coolest! Non-majors fundamentals of biology presenting their own lessons to the lab today. This group entitled their lesson “tasty terrain” where the class got to learn about aquifers and ground water contamination using different toppings and ice cream 🍦
