The Florida Citizens for Science call to action project “All I Want for Christmas is a Good Science Education<\/a>” is in full swing. I’m getting quite a bit of interest, which is outstanding! We need everyone, including you<\/strong>, to participate in order for this effort to have any impact.<\/p>\n

I was asked by some folks in other states if it was OK for them to participate. Yes, please do! If you are out of state, then perhaps you can focus your messages on educating our Board of Education about what evolution is, and what the nature of science is. It would be especially useful if you are a scientist or teacher or other professional who can speak with clear authority on the matter.<\/p>\n

Please take a moment to click through the link above, or see the previous blog post<\/a> announcing this project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
