How evolution acceptance may influence other science developments is an excellent direction for future research because it will allow us to explore potential positive consequences of public acceptance of evolution.
Finally, doing well in mathematics and science may influence students' identity or feelings of self-worth.
For example, high discovery and relevance ratings from introductory students, who are new to higher education and to the practice of science, may influence the extent to which they feel like part of a community.
Indeed, research suggests that students' and teachers' views of science and the nature of science (NOS) may influence their understanding and acceptance of evolution (Dagher and BouJaoude 1997, 2005).
For editors and for authors of review articles and editorials, a greater level of scrutiny and public disclosure to the reader is warranted because these circumstances may influence the selection of the science that will be reviewed or published.
To study the reasons for science career choice, we created a survey to examine the factors that (1) influence the career choices of underrepresented minorities (URMs) interested in science, and (2) may influence these URM students to choose careers in other sub-disciplines in biology rather than careers in evolutionary science.
In this section, we consider specific implications for how these results may influence post-secondary biology instruction and future science education research.
As genetic testing for disease risk, and now ancestry, become more popular, accessible, and more widely used, it is even more important to understand the cultural and demographic differences that may influence people's perceived personal utility of the science.
This forecast is more of an art than a science, since I am juggling multiple factors that may influence turnout.
The advances in biomedical science have led to the discovery of genes that may influence therapeutic outcome and disease susceptibility.
