About PopBiology
Science is happening right now. Not in textbooks. Not in last year’s headlines. Right now, in labs and field sites around the world, researchers are discovering things that will change how we understand life itself.
And most of it never reaches you.
The Problem We’re Solving
When biologists publish groundbreaking research on bioRxiv – the preprint server where new findings first appear – it’s written for other scientists. Dense methodology. Statistical analyses. Terminology that requires a PhD to decode.
The result? Incredible discoveries about how life works sit unread by the very people who’d find them most fascinating.
Our Mission
PopBiology translates frontier biology into language that clicks. We take fresh research on animal behavior and plant biology and show you why it matters, what it means, and why you should care.
Think of us as your insider at the research frontier, reading hundreds of papers so we can bring you the stories worth knowing.
Who This Is For
You don’t need a biology degree. You need curiosity.
If you’ve ever wondered why squirrels zig-zag when they run, how trees know when to drop their leaves, or what your cat is really thinking, you’re in the right place.
What We Believe
Biology is everywhere around you, doing extraordinary things for understandable reasons.
That crow remembering your face? Fascinating neuroscience. That “weed” releasing chemicals when cut? Complex biochemical signaling. Ants finding the shortest path to food? Emergent intelligence without a brain.
The world is more interesting when you understand it. And understanding it doesn’t require a degree – it requires good explanations.
