This week, we're #thankful for our colleague @lizbarnes.bsky.social, who's working to promote harmony between #religion & #evolution! Tune in on Insta or TikTok through Thursday to see her #Scopes100 clips. @ncse.bsky.social
To commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the landmark Scopes “Monkey" Trial, we’ve created a special quiz to test your knowledge! This historic trial sparked a national conversation about science, education, and the role of evolution in the classroom. ncse.ngo/scopes-monke... #Scopes100 #trivia
Given how well these videos do on Instagram, I thought I'd share one here, too! A #FossilFriday clip with @stevebrusatte.bsky.social. T. rex had feathers, but not for flying. #Evolution #Scopes100 #Dinosaurs @ncse.bsky.social
All three of Ken's videos did really well on TikTok, here's the one that did the best!
