Climate Change Workshop blog

I hope as many of you as possible will be able to participate in the Field Meeting. Beavers Bend is a wonderful place and you will love seeing colleagues new and old. I won't be there because I an participating in a workshop this weekend. The Climate Change Workshop this weekend at the University of Oklahoma Biological Station. Sponsored by Oklahomans for Excellence in Science Education (OESE) and the Oklahoma Climatological Survey, this workshop will acquaint high school teachers with the basic facts about climate change and introduce active learning experiences they can use with their students. For many years OESE has held evolution workshops, but we recognized that climate change is just as controversial a topic as evolution, if not more so, and teachers really want some help in approaching this topic. I plan to "live-blog" from the event on my science blog. Last year I "live-blogged" from the OESE evolution workshop; see here. Want some straight and clear information about climate change? Check us out starting Friday evening September 20. Or, for those of you at the field meeting, check us out afterward--or during the meeting, if the sound of the frogs keeps you awake at night and you can find a connection. Stan Rice, president-elect
