My pedagogical skills have become more refined and much more student centered as a result of my association with BSCS and the field trial materials.
Science on Tap
Where:
Jack Quinn's Irish Pub and Restaurant, Colorado Springs
Mon, 09/12/2011 - 6:30pm - 8:30pm
BSCS Science Educator Mark Bloom, Ph.D. will be the featured speaker at next month's event, sponsored by the Colorado Springs Science Center Project (CSSCP). Science on Tap is a community outreach program designed to gather audiences in a fun and casual environment to learn from local scientists about contemporary science topics. Dr. Bloom’s talk will be from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m.
Dr. Bloom will speak on “The American Eugenics Movement: Lessons for the Age of Genomics.” In the United States, the eugenics movement was supported by influential politicians, industrialists, and scientists. Through their efforts, laws were passed that restricted immigration, legalized involuntary sterilization, and banned marriage between races. The lessons of eugenics will be discussed as they pertain to today’s genetics applications.
BSCS Executive Director Janet Carlson is a founding director of CSSCP, a collaborative, community-engaged initiative to build a science and technology center in Colorado Springs that stimulates and inspires the inquisitive mind.
