Science education is one of Douglas Emlen's biggest priorities, and he leverages the parallels between animal and military weapons as a hook to engage audiences who might not pick up a biology book otherwise. #evolutionarybiology#scienceeducation#NAS161 https://t.co/IfGo81a6xv
UM student Jocelyn Stansberry grew up in national parks, just graduated from @umontana (alongside her identical twin sister) and landed her dream job with @GrandTetonNPS. We can't wait to see what this Griz grad does next!

As a fourth-generation Griz, human biology senior Drew Engellant’s UM roots run deep. But he’ll leave his own unique legacy of research and creative scholarship upon graduating this spring. Read all about the Kalispell local's story here:

Hearty congrats to @DougEmlen on his selection to @theNASciences!
It was nice to finally meet Doug @MuseumRockies.
Check out his books: the pop science Animal Weapons and the standard-bearing textbook Evolution (with @carlzimmer)!
My first contribution to beetle research in Current Biology 🦏
Stay tuned to know more about the genomic mechanisms underlying this cool weapon!
@DougEmlen
@ericallarson
(also my first paper with @romainpboisseau 🤝)
Come check my poster tonight (cloisters 859) to learn about my work on animal weapons evolution in rhinoceros beetles 🦏⚔️

Rounding these out is Animal Weapons by the eminent biologist, Douglas J. Emlen, which poses as an unconventional work of military history--one that looks at how animals evolved and adapted themselves to their surroundings through their ability to become fighting machines.
The March bundle of books is here!
$30 for 3 books- at the end of the month, all books go to Books Through Bars and will be sent to the thousands of people in prison who write us for books.
