Hi y'all:
Dear Tennessee members of NCSE, If you're attending the National
Association of Biology Teachers professional development conference at
the Cook Convention Center in Memphis, October 15-18, 2008, be sure to
look for NCSE! On October 15, NCSE's Louise S. Mead and Jason Wiles
will present "Survival of the Unpalatable: The High Cost of Good
Taste" -- a hands-on workshop featuring a discussion of common
roadblocks and some new ways to use jelly beans to teach natural
selection. It takes place at 1:00 p.m. in Room 204 (Convention
Center). On October 16, NCSE's Eugenie C. Scott, Victor Hutchison, and
Steve Case will speak on "Avoiding Kitzmiller v. Dover: Keeping Your
District Out Of Court" -- Scott, Hutchison, and Case will offer advice
for avoiding the next Dover. The event takes place at 2:30 p.m. in
Ballroom B (Convention Center). On October 18, NCSE's Louise S. Mead
will discuss "Evolution Education in the 21st Century" -- Interested
in updating your evolution lectures? Pressured to address alternatives
to the theory of evolution? The event takes place at 12:30 p.m. in
Room 201 (Convention Center). Plus NCSE will have a booth in the
exhibit hall, with free literature as well as books, bumperstickers,
and t-shirts for sale. Or just stop by to say hello! There's a lot of
other great stuff going on at the conference, but of particular note
is a talk by Judge John Jones III, who presided over the Kitzmiller v.
Dover case. The event takes place at 3:45 p.m. on October 17, in
