The Evolution in Action project
A group of postdocs and PhD students in the Department of Biological Sciences, we run evolution-based workshops at schools and events to allow students to engage with real scientists carrying out evolutionary research in Finland. 

Our aims

Research has shown that direct contact with scientists can improve student’s knowledge and understanding of science, as well as their interest in pursuing scientific careers. Our workshops are based on our own research included practical activities designed to promote critical thinking skills and inquiry-based learning.​
