Evolution: Education and Outreach journal 2nd issue published
The second issue of the Evolution: Education and Outreach" journal has been released. Like the first issue, this one is packed full of materials of interest to science teachers and anyone with an interest in evolution education. There are 24 articles in this issue, ranging from an article by Niles Eldridge on the "evolution" of "punctuated equilibria" to a debate on the merits of using "Inherit the Wind" as a teaching tool. Other notable articles include one by the NCSE's Eugenie Scott and Glenn Branch on the pitfalls of "Opt-Out" policies as a misguided compromise on evolution education. An introductory editorial discusses their plans for a special issue on the 200th anniversary of Darwin's birthday. They are soliciting response from both teachers and students to the question "Why is Darwin relevant in the 21st century?"
