*****************************************************************************

In the last few days there have been some important events in the   
discussion 
of intelligent design and creatyionis. I am very interested in  how  these 
impact and/or are responded to by museums. This is part of  my long-term  
involvement in the issue as a paleontologist, museum  director, and now  
consultant to 
museums as well as in my role as a  board member of the National  Center for 
Science Education.

I  will appreciate any infoirmation about creationist approaches to museums   
requesting/demanding "equal time" for creationism, removal of evolution  
exhibits  or programs, and any other ways in which museum professionals  are 
seeing 
their  institutions impacted by the creation-evolution  controversy.

Thanks very much for this help and information. Please feel  free to contact  
me directly.
