Mammal March Madness
Mammal March Madness is an alternate March Madness tournament focusing on simulated mammal combat instead of college basketball. The bracket is run by a team of evolutionary biologists, using science and probability to determine the outcomes of the fights. The goal of Mammal March Madness is to provide a fun and exciting way to spread scientific knowledge about the competing animals, as well as awareness for animal conservation.
==History==
March Mammal Madness dates back to 2013, when founder Katie Hinde discovered a Buzzfeed Animal Madness bracket online. She was disappointed to find it only contained 16 animals and that the outcomes were based solely on their cuteness, rather than science. In response she created Mammal March Madness, containing a 64 animal bracket with the goal of mixing fun narrated battles with scientific research of the many species involved.
Katie Hinde, an assistant professor of human evolution at Harvard, later brought in three other educators to help her organize the event. This includes assistant professor at Boston University School of Medicine Kristi Lewton, lecturer at Columbia University Joshua Drew, and assistant professor at Dominican University Christopher Anderson. Together, they heavily research all of the combatants, using what they learn to provide an entertaining and informative experience.〔
