I really like your logo! What was it inspired by?<\/h2>\n

\"\"Glad you like it! Our logo was designed by Jacob Steenwyk<\/a>, a graduate student in the Biological Sciences program and Curb Center ArtLab Fellow. The design was inspired by a phylogenetic tree that appears in the textbook that John T. Scopes taught evolution from, and which led to the 1925 Scopes “monkey trial”<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
