Hello Everyone

Just wanted to share in the celebration of Charles Darwin by mentioning a fantastic book about him that, if you are not already acquainted with, you might want to check out!

The author is Jay Hosler, a biologist and cartoonist, and the book is called 'The Sandwalk Adventure', a graphic-novel-style work that explains the history of Darwin's discovery and the concepts of natural selection in a most engaging, fun, and original way, via the dialog between Darwin as he takes his daily walks, and a curious follicle mite who lives in his eyebrow.

It's a wonderful combination of art and science that is a great example to show students, of a unique and important communication piece, and of course also very useful to help explain natural selection to those who still have trouble understanding it.

Cheers to all
Kathryn Chorney
