Given how well these videos are received on Instagram, I thought I'd share one here, too! Another #FossilFriday - another @SteveBrusatte clip! Even T. rex had feathers - but not for flying. #Evolution #Scopes100 #Dinosaurs @ncse

New Research! @Linmengmet shows that urban vegetation leafs out ~12 days earlier and holds leaves ~11 days later. This may help cool cities. Longer growing seasons can also prolong allergy season. Read More >> https://t.co/zfV76yGloN

The Cover!?!? Way to go Amanda Lea and colleagues! @vuartsci
Pastoralism remains central to survival in the Turkana of northwest Kenya, where heat and water scarcity pose constant challenges. New research uncovers the genetic signatures that underlie adaptation to arid living in this pastoralist community. Learn more in this week's issue:

The Turkana people of northern Kenya have lived in one of the world’s driest places for thousands of years. Researchers have discovered the #genetic secrets that help them thrive — and what happens when those same traits meet urban life. #Evolution @vuartsci

Raised creationist. Still Christian. Now teaching what works. @scientificallee shows how focusing on understanding the evidence, not forcing belief, helps more students learn evolution, even in skeptical contexts. Watch his #Scopes100 talk: https://t.co/Cmxfv6lHnD
