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 youtube.com/watch?v=e65EvBtx…

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! 👉bit.ly/UMstansberry

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: 🎓bit.ly/UMengellant

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.

I've had two amazing artists-in-residence this summer in the beetle lab, and they will be presenting insect-inspired works Wed July 27 at 4PM in the UM Masquer Theater. I've seen previews and it looks amazing!! #OpenAIRMT @umontana @MissoulaEvents

Meet Ummat Somjee, one of our 2021 Stengl-Wyer Scholars! He researches the evolution of exaggerated sexually-selected traits in animals. #evolution #ecology #entomology #postdoctoral #postdoc biodiversity.utexas.edu/news…
Wonderful seminar today by @romainpboisseau on morphological convergence and sexual dimorphism in some very charismatic stick and leaf insects.
