Dear friends of NCSE, A failure in Louisiana. Congratulations to Jay Labov. And a new survey of meteorologists on climate change.

Dear friends of NCSE, Disappointing news from Alabama. Everything you ever wanted to know about the NCSE/Penn State climate change education survey. Plus good news from the state legislatures of Louisiana, West Virginia, and Florida.

Dear friends of NCSE, A new issue of Reports of the NCSE in its new format is now available on-line. Idaho's Bible-as-science-reference bill may become not as problematic. West Virginia's science standards are under attack by the legislature, in part owing to their treatment of climate change. And two -- or is it three? -- antiscience bills are dead in Oklahoma.

Dear friends of NCSE, The antiscience bill in Mississippi and the anti-NGSS bill in Iowa are now both out of commission. Plus public opinion about climate change in Alaska and a reminder about NCSE's 2016 excursion to the Grand Canyon.

Dear friends of NCSE, Coverage of "Climate Confusion Among U.S. Teachers." A bill in Idaho that would permit the use of the Bible in studying science. And progress for Arizona's Darwin Day bill, the death of Antonin Scalia, and a Facebook milestone for NCSE.

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.

Dear friends of NCSE, NCSE is moving! A new antiscience bill in South Dakota. A bill in Iowa to undo the state's adoption of the NGSS. A second antiscience bill in Oklahoma. And a reminder about Darwin Day.

Dear friends of NCSE, Antievolution legislation in Oklahoma. Public opinion on climate change and evolution addressed in Science and Engineering Indicators 2016. Plus a reminder about Darwin Day.
