Battling falsehoods pretending to be facts, absurd counter-narratives, and the politicization of science is nothing new for evolutionary biologists. Find out how Darwin's apostles launched a campaign for truth that largely succeeded, despite powerful opposition. Find out what they did, where they succeeded, where they failed, and what we can learn from them. In our current battle against fake news, there is much that these brave scientists can teach us.

In honor of Charles Darwin’s birthday in February, Abby Hafer, Co-author of Darwin’s Apostles, will give a talk called, “What today’s fighters against fake news can learn from Darwin’s apostles, (or How to deal with “...rot, preposterous allegations, groundless assertions and conspiracy theories)” that will tie the book to current events.
