	New York City Museum Educators Roundtable (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		If collections are the heart of museums, what we have come to call education—the commitment to presenting objects and ideas in an informative and stimulating way—is the spirit.
		This year marks NYCMER's 25th Anniversary, an auspicious moment to reflect on the evolution of museum education and to consider its role within the museum and in the greater community.
		This conference will provide a forum to explore the current state of museum education, and to reflect on where we have come from and where we are going.

	Evolution: Library: Theodosius Dobzhansky: Integrating Genetics and Evolution
		Charles Darwin's theory of evolution generated scientific debate and discussion not only in Darwin's own time, but for decades afterward.
		In the latter part of the nineteenth century and the until the 1930s and '40s, scientists were puzzled and very divided over what drove evolution.
		Darwin's engine, natural selection, had few supporters: Many people found it distasteful because it seemed to be ruthless and wasteful of life and had no positive, uplifting goal.

	Untitled Document
		Enthusiasts of evolution then told me that guacamayos were at the top of their food chain, and didn’t have predators.
		Evolution breaks down into at least three logically separable components: First, that life arose by chemical accident; second, that it then evolved into the life we see today; and third, that the mechanism was the accretion of chance mutations.
		Evolution writ large is the belief that a cloud of hydrogen will spontaneously invent extreme-ultraviolet lithography, perform Swan Lake, and write all the books in the British Museum.

	Intelligent Design? A Special Report from Natural History Magazine
		Like their predecessors, however, they reject the idea that evolution accounts for the array of species we see today, and they seek to have their concept -- known as intelligent design -- included in the science curriculum of schools.
		Yet their proposals are getting a hearing in some political and educational circles and are currently the subject of a debate within the Ohio Board of Education.
		The infamous August 1999 decision by the Kansas Board of Education to delete references to evolution from Kansas science standards was heavily influenced by advocates of intelligent-design theory.

	Evolution education down to a science on Web / UC Berkeley experts offer advice on facing 'pitfalls' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The site, at evolution.berkeley.edu, grew out of a conference that the museum hosted four years ago at which representatives from virtually every national scientific and education organization gathered to consider the growing pressures against evolution curricula.
		Experts at the National Center for Science Education, based in Oakland, say that the teaching of evolution in public schools is under active attack in at least four state legislatures, four state departments of education and five local school boards, including one in the Sacramento suburb of Roseville.
		Rather, she said, it is a "nonconfrontational way to help biology teachers cope with the confusions their students may have about evolution, and to help students understand the difference between science and religion in the controversies over evolution that keep endlessly cropping up in schools all over the country.

		The "Understanding Evolution" Web site (evolution.berkeley.edu), funded by the National Science Foundation and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) and created jointly by UC Berkeley's Museum of Paleontology and the National Center for Science Education, went online in early February.
		The heart of the site is Evolution 101, which can serve as a primer to evolutionary theory or an intensive course in the nitty gritty details of speciation, micro- and macroevolution, and ongoing research into how evolution happens.
		In doing so, the team is experimenting with evolution comic books (one is titled "Survival of the Sneakiest"), the first of perhaps hundreds of personal stories about ongoing research on evolution, more online lesson modules for teachers, and video and Flash graphics to enhance the photos and cartoons now illustrating the site.
