ActionBioscience.org is a non-commercial, educational web site created to
promote bioscience literacy by examining issues that will:
- motivate
the public to play an active role in bioscience education
- show how
developments in bioscience research can affect everyone
- promote an
understanding of biogeography and the biodiversity of life
- engage the
public to reflect on the relationship between human activity and the natural
course of evolution
- promote
global ecological awareness
- advance
formal and informal bioscience education
- encourage
students to pursue studies in the biosciences
To meet these
goals, the web site provides articles by scientists, science educators, and
science students on issues related to seven bioscience challenges: environment,
biodiversity, genomics, biotechnology, evolution, new frontiers in science, and
bioscience education. In addition, the web site provides educators with original
lessons and resources to enhance bioscience teaching. Up-to-date external links
are provided at the bottom of each article to help the reader "learn more" about
or "get involved" in the issue. |
