Evolution Education

Last month's issue of Evolution (aka Evolution Int J Org Evolution, aka Evolution (Lawrence Kansas), aka some other confusing way of referring to the journal published by the Society for the Study of Evolution) contains two articles on teaching evolution.

Darwin's Reach

Hofstra University solicits submissions for an interdisciplinary conference titled "Darwin’s Reach: A Celebration of Darwin’s Legacy across Academic Disciplines," to be held March 12-14, 2009.

200 years since Darwin's birth, what about medicine?

Today is Darwin Day. But, more than that, it is a very special Darwin Day in that it is the 200th anniversary of the birth of evolutionary biologist Charles Darwin.

What? Only 50 myths?

Over at the Raving Atheist's forum, contributors have compiled a list of 50 evolution myths. It's actually at 51 right now—I could have told them there are a lot more than 50—but it's entertaining.

Ah, my undergrad alma mater. Probably Dan Noland, a biophilic UNCW English prof, will be there. If you know him, say hi for me!

I am surprise Google / You Tube blocked 'Biology, Evolution â âDarwinâs Legacy' educational topic like this while those junks created by kids, religious zealot propaganda and hate crimes clogged their video site are OK with an blind eye.
How pathetic and against origin democratic free thought online.

What? Nobody blocked anything. The meeting is over, perhaps the site is removed or down. Or your computer is blocking it for some reason.
