  1. Mutation Celebration Day

    Mutation Celebration Day

    Charles Darwin's revolutionary observations of Galapagos tortoises and finches, explored how natural selection allows species to adapt over time. From the discovery of the hawk moth in Madagascar, predicted by Darwin, to the groundbreaking discovery of DNA by Rosalind Franklin, Francis Crick, and James Watson, we look at how genetic changes drive evolution.

    New Season - New Shows!

    The new season is about to kick and I'm really excited about it.  I'm always looking for ways to expand the show's reach and science education, and to do so, I'll need your help. I'd love to go back to a weekly show, be able to fully kick off a supplemental video channel, and provide materials for schools. I've also always wanted to bring the newsletter back. The show will always be free for all to enjoy.  To find out how you can help the show achieve it's goals financially, please visit evolutiontalk.com/support.

    Island Laboratories

    The wonderful thing about islands is they continue to provide insights into the processes that shape life on Earth, reminding us of the incredible adaptability of life and the importance of preserving these unique ecosystems. They demonstrate how isolation, limited resources, and unique environmental pressures can drive the evolution of extraordinary adaptations.
