A Teaching Evolution Panel Discussion at Rice

There is going to be a very promising looking panel discussion about the controversial Texas' State Board of Education drafting of science standards this year at Rice University on Wednesday, February 11, 2009, at 7 p.m. in McMurty Auditorium, Duncan Hall. The program is called "The Politics of Teaching Evolution in Texas" and will focus on the political process and its ramifications for Texas. The link is to the "Events At Rice" posting about it. I plan to be there if at all possible. Hopefully I will finally understand how all this really works. Anyway, if you are in the area and interested in the subject it looks like it will be very good.
