The Emerging Scholars Network, as a "digital first" initiative of InterVarsity's Graduate and Faculty Ministry, has always encouraged our members to engage in local, in-person communities, including the many student and faculty groups connected with InterVarsity across the country.

We are grateful to Dana … [Read more...] about American Scientific Affiliation Strengthened with Local Engagement

Being eaten can have a significant negative impact on your fitness (your reproductive success, not your ability to climb Mt Everest or run a marathon). At the end of the day, the organisms/species that have the largest number of healthy offspring … [Read more...] about Science Corner: Bug-Eat-Bug World
