On this April 1st, EvoKE didn’t want to trick you… but to challenge a common #misconception. Try this: search “evolution” and look at the images. What do you see? Chances are, it’s the “march of progress”. 👉 But this gives the wrong idea. #Evolution isn’t linear, it’s branching.

📣The EvoKE Webinars are back! We are excited to relaunch the EvoKE Webinars on 16 April with Gregor Torkar, who will explore how #evolution education can support #sustainability competences and its links to GreenComp – the European Sustainability Competence Framework. 🔗 Learn more: bit.ly/4bo31Uw

Applications now open for the Graduate Research Excellence Grants! These provide evolutionary biology research funds for early and advanced Master’s and PhD students. Proposals due May 18. www.evolutionsociety.org/content/soci...

Happy Valentine’s Day 💌 Citius, Altius, Fortius — faster, higher, stronger. Sexual selection is often told as a competition story. But is courtship really a one-way performance? 👇 Examples in the next post. #ValentinesDay #EvolutionaryBiology #EvoKE
