BioForum is a series on current science topics of interest to educators. Each BioForum includes three presentations by renowned scientists related to the selected topic. As one of the teachers wrote: "The speakers were vibrant, funny, and, of course, knowledgeable. I scrapped my lesson plans for the next two days to talk about it - the kids loved it!" This year the presentations will be in the morning with afternoons devoted to behind-the-scene tours of the Academy collections, special exhibit tours, previews of plans for the new Academy, and teacher workshops. Morning refreshments and lunch are included. (Note: Information will be sent about tours, workshops, and other activities to registrants prior to each BioForum.)
Most attendees are high school science teachers; however, a number of middle school science teachers, community college teachers, Academy docents, and student teachers attend as well.
