Congratulations to our 2024 T. H. Huxley Award [1] winner, Tim Hartelt! This award provides funding for an SSE member to present evolution education resources at an education-focused session or conference.

Tim Hartelt is a PhD student advised by Dr. Helge Martens in the Department of Biology Education at the University of Kassel in Germany. Hartelt was selected for his educational resource, "Metaconceptual Learning Activities for Promoting Metacognitive Awareness and Self-Regulation of Intuitive Thinking in Evolution Education." In the activities, students actively engage with their intuitive thinking to develop an appropriate understanding of evolution. Learn more about the activity here [2], and read a recent paper by Hartelt and colleagues here [3]. As part of the award, Hartelt will receive funding to present his work at the National Association of Biology Teachers [4] (NABT) conference in November.
