CEO, Tree of EvolutionWebsite
www.treeofevo.comHi! I'm Çağrı. I love everything about science. Especially reading about science and teaching it to broader audiences. Right now, I am the CEO of Tree of Evolution and the Editor-in-Chief of Evrim Ağacı. The former, which is based in the US, is the parent company of the latter, which is a science organization that operates in Turkey. Both of these organizations aim to teach science to the public, raise awareness about science, and promote science among the youth and the general public of Turkey and other countries. Prior to starting Tree of Evolution, I was a PhD in Mechanical Engineering Department at Texas Tech University with a PhD minor in Biological Sciences Department. Even if my degree is officially in engineering, I am a long enthusiast of evolutionary biology. My engineering research is also in theoretical and mathematical evolutionary biology applied to robotics and algorithms. Since the inception of Evrim Ağacı in 2010, I have given many talks and conferences all around Turkey and I have been producing popular science content since then. I am a published author of 2 popular science books on evolutionary biology. I am also a YouTuber and trying to create science videos of a Turkish and/or English speaking audience. I am originally from Ankara, Turkey but right now live in Lubbock, Texas.

Professor at Boğaziçi UniversityWhen I read your books, I feel like I am listening to you directly. Your books are so easy to understand and they flow so smoothly. I say this especially because these are the first books I am reading on evolutionary biology. Health to your pen!

Teacher"Don't curse the darkness, light a candle!" I am deeply happy to have started my high school years with Evrim Ağacı and I will graduate with Evrim Ağacı. Back then I thought life was just about going to the school and back. But now, I am filled with a desire to become a scientist. I explained everything I learned from Evrim Ağacı to my friends and even teachers. I learned how to teach science from Evrim Ağacı. Now I am a candidate to become a scientist. I have a long way, but I am glad to be a part of this family.

What I Do
I try to use all the modern tools and technologies available to me in order to reach out to larger audiences, interact with them, and educate them on modern science.
I try to use videography and other audio-visual tools to have a more captivating and intimate communication with the public. YouTube is the main repository of my work.
After I got my PhD, I decided to pursue science as an independent researcher. I try to collaborate with my colleagues in Academia to continue to contribute to scientific progress.
I have written thousands of popular science articles and published two popular science books to contribute to the scientific literature.
I have given talks and conferences in multiple cities and countries in order to promote science and scientific thinking
I have published two popular science books, both of which made it to the bestseller lists in Turkey in science category.
