A @bloomsburybooksus.bsky.social book by a pair of @universityofkansas.bsky.social scholars is helping teachers incorporate games in learning. “We didn’t think of ourselves as gamers when we started. We were just instructors who wanted to make our courses more relevant.” news.ku.edu/news/article...

Wrapped 2025! Another Great Year behind us~ #jayhawks

After three months away @mblscience.bsky.social I return to the lab with these notes welcoming me back. It’s nice to know I was missed.

Join us for the KUCG seminar on Friday, December 5 at 4pm in 2048 Malott. Dr. Jennifer Gerton from the Stowers Institute for Medical Research will be presenting “ Bringing the dark matter of the genome to light”

Congratulation Dr. Egan! We wish you a very happy retirement! youtube.com/shorts/qSDXD...

Excited and proud of all of the work that we've accomplished in Undergraduate Biology in 2024-2025! Take a peek, you might see someone familiar. 😊 Shoutout to Maria Losito for all of her hard work designing and creating this celebration of all that KU Biology accomplishes!

biogem.ku.edu provides financial support for recent college graduates. Grads engage in interdisciplinary projects that study how organisms, populations & species respond to their past & present environment & how genetic mechanisms equip organisms to respond to future environmental change. Open 12/3!

Another beautiful cover for your KU Biology Alumni Magazine designed by our own Maria Losito. Feel free to read about our amazing program, or just enjoy the image. The previous versions are archived here and have awesome covers. biology.ku.edu/biohawk
