Today I’m off to Portland, OR for the 2010 American Physical Society’s March meeting to participate in this panel:
Science Literacy, the Nature of Science and Religion
Jon Miller: The Development of Civic Scientific Literacy in the United States
Sheril Kirshenbaum: How Scientific Illiteracy Threatens Our Future
Murray Peshkin: Addressing the Public About Science and Religion
Judith Scotchmoor: Increasing our understanding of how science really works
Art Hobson: Physics Literacy for All Students
Our session will be moderated by Lawrence Woolf and you can read the abstracts online. I’m really looking forward to what I’m certain will be a very interesting discussion.
