Dear Friends of NCSE,

The end of two lawsuits involving a teacher preaching creationism in
the classroom in Mount Vernon, Ohio, is on the horizon. Kudos for
Evolution vs. Creationism from the International Society for Science
and Religion. And news of a webcast on "Molecular Insights into
Classic Examples of Evolution."

Dear Friends of NCSE,

Five years on, New Scientist addresses the aftermath of Kitzmiller v.
Dover. The Supreme Court declines to review ACSI v. Stearns. NCSE's
Glenn Branch, Eugenie C. Scott, and Joshua Rosenau's "Dispatches from
the Evolution Wars" is published in Annual Review of Genomics and
Human Genetics. No fewer than three international organizations of
museums and science centers add their voices for evolution. And NCSE
offers a free excerpt from Edward J. Larson's Summer for the Gods.

Dear Friends of NCSE,

NCSE's Eugenie C. Scott visits Orange County, California; NCSE is
about to visit the nation's capital for the USA Science & Engineering
Festival; and the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction revisits,
and reaffirms, its commitment to teaching evolution.

Dear Friends of NCSE,

In Israel, the chief scientist in the Ministry of Education is finally
sacked over his denial of evolution and global warming, while in
Florida, a problematic sidebar will be removed from a marine science
textbook. And NCSE's Eugenie C. Scott discussed the continuing
relevance of Inherit the Wind with the Los Angeles Times.

Dear Friends of NCSE,

A new survey includes questions about Darwin and the Scopes trial.

Dear Friends of NCSE,

Antievolutionism surfaces in a marine science textbook in Florida.
Meanwhile, Discover is dismissive of "intelligent design"; the winners
of the Stick Science cartoon contest are announced; the latest issue
of Evolution: Education and Outreach is published; and statements from
three museums are added to NCSE's Voices for Evolution.

Dear Friends of NCSE,

A new format for NCSE's journal is in the works. In Ireland, a
government official decides not to attend a launch party for a
self-published antievolutionist book. And the eminent evolutionary
biologist George C. Williams is dead.

Dear Friends of NCSE,

All sorts of new videos on NCSE's YouTube channel, plus a
clarification on the status of the ICR's School of Biblical
Apologetics.
