Bacteria are more than just "germs" or disease agents. The evolutionary,
ecological, and economic importance of these microbes is not well known
among the general public. Join our presenters Sarah Bordenstein and Dr. Seth
Bordenstein from the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole,
Massachusetts as we explore the world of microbes and bring current study
and research in biodiversity, molecular biology methods, bioinformatics, and
molecular evolution concepts into your classrooms. The seminar will be held
on Tuesday, January 8th from 6:30 to 8:00 pm Eastern time, and is designed
for teachers of grades 9 to12. Free pre-registration is
required: http://learningcenter.nsta.org/products/SeminarRegistration.aspx
