Outreach

Wide scrapbook-style collage highlighting science outreach, education, and community engagement activities. Photographs are layered with torn-paper edges, gold frames, and travel-themed illustrations, including a scooter, food, a Tennessee postcard, and a dotted travel path. On the left, photos show researchers engaging children, students, and other visitors at outdoor science outreach booths with hands-on educational materials. A larger central photograph shows a speaker addressing an audience at a high school event, while another image shows a researcher presenting specimens and educational materials indoors. Across the center, photos depict researchers leading classroom presentations and interacting with visitors at additional outdoor outreach tables featuring biological specimens and activities. A tilted smartphone-style frame shows a researcher explaining a wall display to children and adults during an indoor event. On the right, a group of researchers poses together outdoors in a wooded stream. A vertical strip of smaller photographs shows additional outreach and community activities, including group photos, presentations, and conversations at events.

Book our evolution exhibits and experts at your next event

Are you a teacher looking for an easy way to incorporate evolution into your classroom? Good news! We have travelling exhibits! Our postdoctoral researchers and students love to come to classrooms with the teaching skulls to show the differences millions of years of hominid evolution can bring.

Recently, we鈥檝e gone to Earth Day at Centennial Park and Fossils at the Fort at Fort Negley. If you would like to book our folks for an evolution-related lecture, please reach out to scientific coordinator, Andy Flick (andy(dot)flick(at)vanderbilt(dot)edu). We can speak about a myriad of topics and are sure to have someone you would love to host! Our speakers come free of charge and are currently available in the greater Nashville area.

Some of our offerings:

Hominid skull evolution: Kyle David, Owen Hale, Audrey Arner

The evolution of teeth and diets: Larisa DeSantis, Katharine Walls, Brynn Wooten

System-specific evolution short courses: Thodoris Danis, Ximena Leon, Olivia Riedling, Nadir Dbouk
