Dear friends of NCSE, NCSE is in the pages of Science with a description of a major national survey of teachers on climate science education. A Mississippi legislator is candid about the motivation of his antiscience legislation. New science standards are rejected in Idaho, and their treatment of evolution and climate change may be the reason. Antiscience bills appear in Mississippi but disappear in South Dakota. And a reminder about Darwin Day.
