Dear EvoBio community,

This summer (June 12th - 27th), the second edition of the EvoBio Crash
Course will take place. This is a project aimed at students interested in
evolutionary biology world-wide but especially in the Global South: we
recognize that for many students in the Global South, systemic knowledge
gaps and other barriers persist. In a two-week free, online crash course we
hope to provide knowledge on evolutionary biology through a series of
lectures, discussion sessions, and practicals. Overall, we seek to increase
our participant’s chances of obtaining access to high-level graduate
programmes, and an opportunity at a career as future evolutionary
biologists. Last year’s course had over 700 registered students from 62
countries. The course will cover the following topics:

Introduction to Evolutionary Biology, Genetics, Speciation & tree-thinking,
Behavioural ecology, Paleobiology & long-term evolution, Evolvability &
Plasticity, Evolutionary Theory, Evolutionary Conflicts, and Application
Procedures.

If this is of interest to you, then we warmly invite you to sign up for
this course! Whilst the course is broadly aimed at BSc students,
participants of all levels are welcome. No previous knowledge of
evolutionary biology is required for the course. Furthermore, we would
greatly appreciate it if you could share the registration form and spread
the word. The form can be found here, registration is open until May 30th:
