The ‘one at a time’ effect changes how facts are interpreted.
Always remember people, it’s not what you read, but how you read that’s important. Always use critical thinking!

Daughter of Amenophis IV or Akhenaten (1351-1334), Egyptian, limestone/ red paint.
This female head has an elongated skull, and is probably a child of Amenhotep IV/Akhenaten (1351-1334 BCE). The eye is hollow for inlaying. The piece is broken across the neck, and is a forgery executed in the 18th Dynasty, Amarna Period style.

Need help teaching evolution? Here is a great website on several case studies with simulations, powerpoints, and fun.
A complete understanding of evolution requires knowledge that spans many biological sub-disciplines. However, students are often taught evolution in the context of ecological systems and isolated from genetic and cellular ones. To address this issue, we have developed case studies that track the evolution of traits from their origination in DNA mutation, to the production of different proteins, to the fixation of alternate macroscopic phenotypes in reproductively isolated populations.
You can navigate through the case studies using the menu at the top of the page.
A short abstract of each case study is provided below with links to PowerPoint slides that are designed to be teaching resources for those who wish to implement one or more studies into their teaching.
600-year-old skeleton mystery at Fermanagh crannog site
Mystery surrounds a 600-year-old skeleton found at the site of an archaeological dig in County Fermanagh.
The crannog - a man made island settlement - is situated on a site where the new A32 Cherrymount link road in Enniskillen will be built.
The woman, who was in her late teens when she died, was not buried in either a recognised graveyard or in traditional manner.
This has led archaeologists to consider the possibility of foul play.
Excavation director Dr Nora Bermingham dated the teenager’s death to around the 15th or 16th centuries.
“The skeleton of a young woman, probably around 18 or 19 with very bad teeth, was found in the upper layers of the crannog,” she said.
She said the burial was “irregular”, but added the cause of death may only be discovered when the remains are examined by a bones specialist.“All we can say at the moment was that the burial itself was in slight disarray, it was slightly disarticulated, which means that it wasn’t a normal internment,” she said.

Do Unpaid Internships Lead to Jobs? Not for College Students
The results were even worse when it came to salary. Among students who found jobs, former unpaid interns were actually offered less money than those with no internship experience.
even though i sleep, breathe, eat evolution and run a blog basically about evolution, whenever i create lesson plans introducing evolution to kids, i’m always hesitant. did i cover everything? is this the best way to explain it? does it make any sense? but most of all, sometimes i worry about the parents. even though they’re told evolution is taught, some will actively oppose it and insist in me teaching intelligent design along side it as if it were an actual science.
Smile Because it Happened.

10 undergraduate students move into a continuing care retirement community for the semester. This is their story.
This specimen has fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) - a condition where muscle turns to bone. Notice the extensors of the right posterior forearm and left deltoid are ossified.
