🗓️ Big Week Ahead! Tues-Thurs: #ISEMPH2025 Conference. Diving into the latest in evolutionary medicine with brilliant minds from around the world! Sat–Sun: Scopes “Monkey” Trial Centennial Symposium. Reflecting on 100 years since Scopes was found guilty of teaching #evolution.

Happy Trilobite “Twosday!” A close look at this Isotelus gigas reveals a surprise: There’s another trilobite partially buried beneath it—a 2.4-in- (6-cm-) long Amphilichas! Such captured-in-time interactions provide scientists with insight into life in the Ordovician seas.
Proud to announce our latest research! Warmer temperature accelerates reproductive senescence in mosquitoes. @VanderbiltU @EvolutionVU @vuartsci doi.org/10.3389/fphys.…
