Greetings from your DAB
Executive!
Upcoming Meeting
in San Antonio
We look forward to
seeing all of you in San Antonio. Sarah is familiar with San Antonio
and assures us this should be a great venue with lots of great
science and lots of great places to eat and visit nearby.
Our division is
co-sponsoring a whopping four symposia this year:
Evolution vs.
Creationism in the classroom: evolving student attitudes
Consequences of
maternally-derived yolk hormones for offspring: current status,
challenges and opportunities

probing and modeling the aerosphere - the next frontier
Make sure to check out
the excellent line up of speakers. We will again have a
combined social/ business meeting. Please plan to attend.
