Virtual Flea Powder
Feel like a dog with fleas? Live in a school district that's infected with creationists of various stripes who want to throw out the science curriculum so they can "teach the controversy?"
Now you can do something about it. The Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology sponsors a website that offers advice and resources for scientists who want to defend evolution.
The FASEB website provides downloadable documents with helpful pointers on meeting with public officials, testifying at school board hearings, and related topics. Much of the advice is common sense, but some of it may be counter intuitive for people who are new to political activism.
The FASEB site also furnishes PowerPoint files on topics such as the importance of learning about evolution.
Think of it as virtual flea powder.
