Museum@Home is issued twice a month. The Family Edition is issued on the first Wednesday of the month, and the Adult Edition on the third Wednesday. Your donations keep the content coming!

What can pizza teach us about the study of evolution? Sit down with a slice and find out in this infographic about the Law of Succession.

James Schultz, Nikita Khanna, and Hannah Willingham created this infographic in BIO 173, an undergraduate biology lab at the University of Michigan. Using UMMNH exhibits as inspiration, BIO 173 students created comics and infographics to share foundational concepts in evolution with museum audiences.
