Big congrats to Terry Ord for receiving this year's Penny Bernstein Distinguished Teaching Award! While Terry is an avid animal behavior researcher, he also is passionate about teaching and published a (free!) graphic novel explaining topics in animal behavior! www.ordlab.unsw.edu.au/understandin...
Cover image of Terry's graphic novel "Understanding Animal Behavior". The title is written along the lefthand vertical edge and there is a kangaroo peeking out from behind the text. Several other critters like bats, ants and birds are also on the cover
