I received my renewal notice today for membership in the National Center for Science Education. This is one of the few organizations to which I have remained loyal, even in times of financial hardship - fortunately, I am passed the days of poor grad student (although I wouldn't trade them for the world!) and tend to both renew and give a donation. This is an outstanding organization and clearly the "guardian angel" of those who stay ever vigilant keeping science education about science - especially in small towns like those here in northeastern California where there are both subtle and not-so-subtle efforts to deny proper science education to students.
If you are concerned about the state of science education in your local area, the state or the nation in general, you should be a member of NCSE...
If you are a professional scientist working in academia, the private sector, or local, state or federal government, you should be a member of NCSE...
If you are a student, concerned that you are getting a proper science education or simply seeking support when you challenge fellow students spouting non-science idiocy, you should be a member of NCSE...
If you a community college or university library, county or city library or any other reading lending institution, you should be getting the NCSE journal for your constituents by becoming a member of the NCSE...
If you are a high school biology or community college biology department, you should be a member of the NCSE...
If you care about the integrity of science at all, you NEED TO JOIN THE NCSE!
So what are you waiting for?
