1. Teaching across the curriculum
with Science!

2. “Transforming Undergraduate
Education in Biology: Mobilizing
the Community for Change”
“Given the radical changes in the nature
of the science of biology and what we
have learned about effective ways to
teach, this is an opportune time to
address the biology we teach so that it
better represents the biology we do. The
goal of this conference is to mobilize
people to focus on undergraduate biology
education by engaging them in shared,
directed, provocative, and ongoing
discussions that lead to action in the
immediate future.”

3. “We need to teach less content, find
and use the storyline, and need to
make ideas accessible and relevant
to different student populations.”
Shirley Malcolm, PhD, Head
Education and Human Resources Program, AAAS
2012 NABT Conference, Dallas, TX
