About Heather Heying
From hummingbirds to humans, octopi to orchids, vipers to viruses, all of us, and all that we do, are the products of evolution. This newsletter explores form and function, behavior and culture, sex and science, all through an evolutionary lens.
We are born curious and deserve to think for ourselves. I do not flinch from difficult topics or scientific disagreement. Science is messy, inefficient, glorious, and fun. As a college professor for fifteen years, I saw nearly all students rise to the challenge of independent thought, assessing ideas with logic and rigor.
