Evolutionary Applications Journal Online

[RBH]

Here (http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/journal.asp?ref=1752-4571&site=1). One of the suggested "frames" for defending and advocating the teaching of evolution is that it is useful -- that knowing about evolutionary processes is important in applied contexts. This journal, the contents of which are available free online, should provide a good deal of raw material to support that argument.

Hat Tip to John Lynch (http://scienceblogs.com/strangerfruit/).

This is SO cool. A big "Thank You!" to Blackwell for making this one available online for free.

Uh huh (http://cns.utexas.edu/communications/2008/02/fo_ellington.asp).The money (literally!) quote:Beyond their first year, Ellington imagines that some of the students completing the FRI will—as sophomores, juniors and seniors—feed into one of the new facilities that are part of the Texas Institute for Drug and Diagnostic Development (TI-3D), of which Ellington’s research program is a major component.

He wants to see undergraduates staffing the new high throughput screening facility, which is used to test lots of drugs against molecules and cells, and future protein and gene expression facilities. He wants them to learn, in a direct way, how to operate a business.

“These students can get a range of skills that will put them in a fluid job system,” he says.
