Teaching evolution with Pokemon - Home

A few weeks ago, I gave a lecture to high school students in Okinawa, describing the fundamental concepts behind evolution. The talk was part of the Okinawa Science Mentoring Program (OSMP). First-year grad students at OIST organise the OSMP, where they mentor high school students and give them a glimpse into the life of a graduate student. OSMP has been pretty popular both amongst the students at OIST and schools in Okinawa. I was asked to give a lecture, and I decided to talk about evolution. At first, I thought I’d talk about why we study evolution, but then realised that it’s better to present something easily relatable and easily retained by the students given limited time. So I decided to use a quintessential example of evolution encountered by almost all kids in Japan, Pokemon!
