Living in the contemporary world requires an ever-increasing need for biological information and understanding. Students are facing issues such as understanding emerging diseases, spread of invasive species, stem cell research, loss of habitats and species, and implications of the human genome project. How are we meeting the need to educate students in a biocomplex world?

Presentations and workshops addressing other topics are welcome;
here are some examples of potential presentation topics:

Bioinformatics
Curricula: content/method/delivery/assessment
Influencing public policy as informed by science
Preparing K-12 teachers/biologists/citizens etc.
Using case-based learning and current issues
Interdisciplinary courses and problem solving
Labs that work/Field courses that work
Research with students
Characteristics of our students as learners
Approaches to teaching evolution

We know that many of you have addressed these issues in creative ways in your classes. Please consider sharing your ideas and techniques at the 47th ACUBE Annual Meeting in Kirksville in 2003.

DEADLINE EXTENDED to September 1 for all presentations!
