Dr. Eugenie Scott offers public lecture on 'Teaching Evolution' - Jan. 27, 2011

Thursday, Jan. 27, 7-9 p.m. UAA/APU Consortium Library, Room 307

Please join us for an overview of the origins, approaches and current status of the anti-evolution movement. This evening will include a discussion of ways to ensure the integrity of the science education of the next generation of Americans.

From creationism to creation science to intelligent design to the present day "evidence against evolution" approach, anti-evolutionists have consistently changed their strategy for attacking the theory of evolution in response to legal decisions.

Dr. Eugenie Scott holds her doctorate in Physical Anthropology from the University of Missouri. She is executive director of the National Center for Science Education, a non-profit working to keep evolution in public school science education.
