Are there Biologists out there who might be interested in teaching
Problem Solving and Critical Thinking? Please forward to other
lists if you think there is an interest. I am a physicist who
has been watching your list for a while because I have a
colleague who is a bee-keeper and I am forwarding printouts to him.
