[neact] Fwd: STEM Ed Announcement: Evolution Resource from NIH for Educators


NIH's National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) announces the
release of a special, evolutionary-themed issue of Findings, a
student-oriented magazine that puts a face on science. This issue celebrates
the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin¼s birth and the 150th anniversary of
the publication of his book On the Origin of Species by featuring the
exciting work of two evolutionary biologists and short articles that
highlight the role of evolution in medical research. This magazine is an
excellent classroom resource for showcasing innovative, creative, and
interesting scientists and is offered at no cost to you and your students.

Find even more on Findings Online (http://www.nigms.nih.gov/findings/):
* A Jeopardy!-style game on evolution you can use during class
* An online "Who Wants to be an Evolutionary Biologist?" trivia game your
students can use to learn more about evolution
