| Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web. While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself!

I guess University of Washington simply because Peter Ward teaches there. Harvard University? What else? Also, how about learning about the oft-overlooked subfield of biology cryptozoology? |

I hate how many associate cryptozoology with creationism, which is due the creationists grabbing the possible living dinosaurs, and preaching that they're evidence that man and dinos co-existed

Havard is pretty much the school for evolutionary biology, a.k.a. the best in the field. Its OEB department is pretty famous for having been connected with Stephen Jay Gould and Ernst Mayr, both notable scientists that died relatively recently. Since Harvard isn't easy to get into or high standards, I might go for Duke University. |

I would recommend Cambridge, if it is good enough for Darwin it should be good enough for you. It is really quite excellent, plus it was founded centuries before anyone even went to America, let alone created a independent nation there and then some upstart universities for it. |
