It's today! I've started as Director of the Milner Centre for Evolution University of Bath! Just a little bit excited. Really looking forward to building on Jonathan Milner's vision for the Centre. 😊 (Prof.Turi King) Evolution Education Trust BBC Bristol Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution BBC Somerset

2 Postdoc fellowship opportunities, one for non-bio folk wanting to move into bio. Milner Centre for Evolution University of Bath has a cluster working on bacterial evolution, genomics, algorithms, AMR and vaccines, and ML. We'd welcome enquiries. Andrew Preston Ed Feil Lauren Cowley Stephanie Lo

Scientists from Milner Centre for Evolution have published the largest-ever evolutionary tree for birds as part of the Bird 10,000 Genomes Project (B10K). The study found that bird brains have got bigger relative to their body sizes over evolutionary time. bath.ac.uk/announcements/…

For the Milner Centre for Evolution podcast series, I caught up with Jonathan Milner, founder of the centre, to chat about his vision for the centre and the importance of understanding evolution. Listen to the full episode here: podbean.com/eas/pb-uewmu-1… Admin: Prof.Turi King

Starting my 2 weeks Hong Kong school lecture tour at Renaissance College, Heng On. Talking to the IB students about the practice of science.

Day 2 starts at Kellett International School, Kowloon Bay

At the massive campus of Victoria Shanghai Academy today. Talking to science students about antibiotic resistance.

Starting the week at the Yew hung International School

Second school today was ISF Academy (which I forgot to take a photo of). Noteworthy is that they have a microbiome sequencing after school club and send a contingent of students to the ASM every year. Really impressive young people.

Member of the Milner Centre for Evolution, and a former director, Laurence Hurst was recently awarded the Humboldt Prize Humboldt-Stiftung. This global research award for lifetime achievement was awarded on March 21, 2024. The prize certificate was presented by the President of the

Can't leave your home but still want take part in this year's #CityNatureChallenge? There are still lots of ways to observe wildlife without travelling away from your house or flat. 🤳 🌙 We love @TheWildlifeTrusts homemade light trap idea for watching moths (or maybe bats!).

At #ERIDOB2024, BERRIT CHRISTOPHE told us about their interesting project that uses concept maps to assess students learning about evolution by natural selection and drift. We look forward to know more about how this great project assess students' learning trajectories.
