UofL evolutionary biologist Lee Dugatkin has co-written a new book, “How to Tame a Fox (and Build a Dog),” with lead scientist Lyudmila Trut, published through the University of Chicago Press. For the last six decades, a dedicated team of researchers in Siberia has been domesticating silver foxes to replay the evolution of the dog in real time. Trut has been lead scientist on this work since 1959, and together with Dugatkin, they tell the inside story of the science, politics, adventure and love behind it all.

Four UofL researchers received more than a half million dollars in grants last week. Check out their projects and awards here.
