Darwin Day, February 12th 2026, EvoKE
Anticipate evolution to protect human health Pathogens and cancer cells evolve rapidly. Evolutionary biology helps us design health interventions, from antibiotics to cancer therapies, that anticipate evolutionary responses, slowing resistance instead of accelerating it.
Design food systems that work with evolution Pests and pathogens adapt quickly to uniform crops and intensive practices. Evolutionary thinking supports diversity-based and adaptive farming strategies that reduce evolutionary arms races and increase long-term food security.
Protect evolutionary potential in a changing world Species and ecosystems respond to climate change through evolutionary and ecological processes that unfold over time. Evolutionary biology highlights the importance of intraspecific biodiversity and helps identify which populations hold higher adaptive potential, and informs management and conservation plans to support resilience.
Today we celebrate Darwin Day! 🎉
Today is not just about celebrating Darwin, but about how evolutionary biology helps us address today’s challenges.
Evolution is not only about the past. It’s a way of thinking for building more sustainable futures.
How are you marking Darwin Day?

Still wondering if #EvoKE2025 in Athens is for you?
✨ Don’t miss Maria João Fonseca on “Evolution education in science centres and museums”.
Her talk will explore how informal learning spaces can transform the way we engage the public with evolution.
See you in Athens?

@eseb2025.bsky.social art corner goes well, it will be available throughout the conference. Join us, draw your science :) @evokeproject.bsky.social I get asked - what if I can’t draw? That’s even better! Trust me - your art will be more honest, and awesome. And we want to see it:)
At @eseb2025.bsky.social please go and visit the art corner organised by @evokeproject.bsky.social (6th Eseb art&sci corner!:)) It’s in the far back-right of the poster area. You don’t have to be an artist! No prior art knowledge required ;) just go there & draw/paint whatever portrays your science!
The art corner has been present at Eseb congresses since the 2015 Lausanne meeting, always receiving positive and lively feedback from all of you:) below some artworks from the Prague 2022 meeting. @eseb.bsky.social As always done with the amazing @evokeproject.bsky.social
