Researchers have developed the first three-dimensional simulation of the evolution of morphology by integrating the mechanisms of genetic regulation that take place during embryo development. The ...

Science education reform continually occurs through the replacement of current teaching methods with alternatives that are designed to enhance student performance. Newly adopted teaching strategies ...

Jeff Clune, a visiting scientist, and his team in Hod Lipson’s Creative Machines Lab have made progress towards that futuristic world through mechanical simulations that utilize natural selection in ...

In natural populations, the mechanisms of evolution do not act in isolation. This is crucially important to conservation geneticists, who grapple with the implications of these evolutionary processes ...

Given the expense, time and considerable teacher effort required to perform hands-on activities in the classroom, their consequences for student learning need to be evaluated. This study takes one ...
