NCSE is pleased to announce the winners of the Friend of Darwin award for 2024: Riley Black, a science writer and the author of the award-winning The Last Days of the Dinosaurs; Kostas Kampourakis of the University of Geneva, a prolific author and editor on topics in biology education whose latest book is the anthology Darwin Mythology: Debunking Myths, Correcting Falsehoods; and Jonathan B. Losos of Washington University in St. Louis, a leading evolutionary biologist and the author of Improbable Destinies and The Cat's Meow.

"Riley Black, Kostas Kampourakis, and Jonathan B. Losos have been consistently remarkable communicators about evolution with a variety of audiences, including the general public. A shelf filled with their books would be a marvelous introduction to evolution all on its own," commented NCSE's executive director Amanda L. Townley. She added, "And all three of them have worked extensively in various ways with NCSE to promote our shared goal of improving the public understanding of evolution, for which we are grateful."
