From genes to genomes
Tools that connect classical inheritance with modern molecular and genomic thinking.
𧬠Genetics ⒠Evolution ⒠Interactive Learning
Making biology click.
I build interactive genetics tools, virtual labs, and data-driven teaching resources that help students move from memorizing biology to thinking like scientists.
Interactive
genetics tools.
Designed for students who learn best by clicking, testing, making mistakes, and seeing biology unfold in real time.
βοΈ
Drosophila Notation Trainer
Practice gene symbols, wild-type notation, dominance, and genotype interpretation before starting fly crosses.
πͺ°
Drosophila Cross Simulator
Create fly populations, select parents, simulate generations, compare phenotypes, and make inheritance patterns visible.
π§ͺ
Genetics Virtual Lab
Open the full lab portal for datasets, ΟΒ² analysis, mapping, inheritance analyzers, and population genetics.
Teaching that feels
like discovery.
Biology becomes powerful when students stop asking βwhat is the answer?β and start asking βwhat evidence supports this?β
π
Evidence first
Students work with observations, expected values, hypotheses, uncertainty, and biological interpretation.
π§
Reasoning over memorizing
Learning activities emphasize logic, prediction, analysis, and experimental design β not just vocabulary.
π
Accessible science
Open, friendly, mobile-ready resources built for classrooms, labs, and independent learners.
π
Teaching Philosophy
Discover the educational principles that guide my teaching, interactive learning design, and commitment to helping students think like scientists.
Research
interests.
Evolutionary biology, molecular ecology, systematics, biodiversity, and the stories hidden inside genomes.
πΈ
Evolutionary biology & biodiversity
Exploring how organisms diversify, adapt, signal, and persist across landscapes and evolutionary time.
πΈ
Poison frogs & hybrids
Discover how Colombian poison frogs reveal new species, natural hybrids, and evolutionary stories through integrative biology.
π§¬
Genetics education research
Designing tools that transform abstract genetic concepts into concrete, testable, visual experiences.
π»
Digital biology learning
Developing web-based simulations that make data analysis, inheritance, and genomics more approachable.
About Andres
Biologist, educator, builder.
I am Dr. Andres Posso-Terranova, a Colombian biologist and evolutionary biology PhD based in Canada. My work lives at the intersection of genetics, evolution, teaching, and technology.
I design interactive biology tools that help students practice scientific reasoning: generating data, testing hypotheses, interpreting uncertainty, and connecting genetic mechanisms to real organisms.

Openscience education
Science should feel rigorous, beautiful, and a little bit dangerous.
Not dangerous like a lab fire. Dangerous like a student suddenly realizing they can understand genetics.
