#Evol2026 was such an engaging, interactive, and inclusive meeting! My students and I had a fantastic time. I have been asked about where my IDEA talk from the virtual meeting can be viewed. Here is a link to the talk on the @sse-evolution.bsky.social YouTube channel: youtu.be/xHdZnGNkTLw

The website (and registration) are live for the January 2027 @asn-amnat.bsky.social American Society of Naturalists meeting: www.amnat2027.org On the East Coast of the US for once, which makes this easier for many people to attend by train or car (or travel from Europe more easily)

On this last day of #Evol2026, a reminder to sign up for the ASN Stand Alone meeting, on the East Coast of the US for the first time! www.amnat2027.org Registration is open. It's a small conference and spots are limited.
