Thinking Evolutionarily: Evolution Education Across the Life Sciences

On October 25-26, 2011, the National Research Council’s Board on Life Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences will hold a convocation at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, DC that will launch a national initiative to infuse evolutionary science into introductory college courses in the life sciences and upper-level biology courses in high schools across the United States. The convocation will feature invited speakers and panelists, and participant discussion sessions.

This event will enable educational leaders, members of professional scientific societies, and members of other scientific and science education organizations to develop a strategic plan that will develop a national database of resources from disciplines across the life sciences to help faculty make evolutionary science a central focus of introductory biology survey courses and other courses across the life sciences curriculum.
