AIBS and its partners offer a two-day symposium for attendees of the National Association of Biology Teachers convention in Chicago

Washington, DC. The American Institute of Biological Sciences has teamed up with the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study (BSCS) and the National Association of Biology Teachers (NABT) to convene a two-day symposium, “Evolutionary Science and Society: Educating a New Generation,” to be held at the 2004 NABT Annual Convention, 12-13 November 2004, in Chicago, IL. The two-day program will feature 17 speakers and five education panel sessions.

The symposium will be the vehicle for summarizing up-to-date research, articulating the importance of evolutionary biology to society, and for education and outreach using both print and web media. The program features internationally renowned evolutionary biologists and biological-science educators, including members of the National Academy of Sciences.
