Is there a cooler way to enter your workspace for the day? 🚀 I’m at the HIAS Primary Science Conference today, running workshops at the Winchester Science Centre to share my Evoscope PhD project. A great day of curiosity, creativity, and primary science in action.

For years I pondered how to make a game about evolution, and my answer is Clades. Players match animals according to their positions on the evolutionary tree of life. Everyone plays at once so it’s fast. FWIW, I get royalties on this one. Kids love animals!

UK friends! Please fill out this government form to have your say on science education. Evolution is fundamental to biology but remains a footnote in the curriculum. We need to raise its profile and push for biology to be valued as highly as chemistry and physics.

Err obviously it’s Costasiella kuroshimae! It's undeniably cute, but its incredible adaptations make it even more fascinating. Perfect for engaging children in lessons. I absolutely love it! Yes I’m in my 40’s and have a cuddly version. Don’t judge.
