“Attacks on Science, Science Education and Evolution” is co-sponsored by the Florida Academy of Sciences and Florida Citizens for Science, and will take place on Saturday, 20 March, 1:00-3:00 p.m., in the Health Sciences Center (room number to be announced). It will have four parts:
1) Evolution and the teaching of evolution. Speaker Dave Campbell (High School biology teacher, member of the new science standards writing committee, featured in a New York Times article on teaching evolution)
2) Myths about evolution. Speaker Debra Walker (anthropologist and member of Monroe County School Board)
3) The anti-science of antievolution. Speaker Wesley R. Elsberry (Biologist, involved in the evolution/creationist controversy since 1986, and worked with Genie Scott at NCSE from 2003 to 2007)
