On Open Day, CES students, faculty and staff came together to put up fun-filled displays and activities showcasing research in the department as well illustrating broader principles in ecology and evolution.

With live exhibits, videos, movie screening, posters, nature walks and, most importantly, games, the public could experience diverse facets of ecology and evolution.

There were games illustrating basic concepts in quantitative ecology, phylogenetics, evolutionary and human ecology, as well as audio games, all hugely popular with the large number of enthusiastic school children, and their equally enthusiastic parents and teachers!
