Life Science Teachers: Content, Support Advice

I put together a page of resources, just a few items but with a plan to grow it, HERE. This is for teachers and their allies, focusing on life science, an organized list of selected posts on this blog that should be of interest.

Hilariously, this included a lengthy discussion of why they see ScienceBlogs as cliquish, conducted entirely in the private back-channel forum that nobody else can read. Irony: it's like gold-y and bronze-…

Really awesome stuff. I especially like the formalism in the first item (necessary and sufficient conditions), but then, I'm a physicist, not a squishy biologist :-)
