That course has grown and developed over the past decade and is now a well-regarded preparation for science graduates who want to shift from doing science to communicating about it to wider audiences.
Imagine with horror, for instance, the effect that this storm would have had without the ability to foresee its power, its path, and its likely effects, and to communicate the information quickly and effectively — even in the absence of the sort of adequate long-term preparation that science recommended and that politics spurned (as reported by Mireya Navarro in the Times just last month).
To promote meeting the goals of an informed citizenry, efforts by organizations such as the National Science Teacher Association (NSTA) (1997) have included biological evolution as a major component of their teacher preparation and science curriculum standards.

Initial results have been analyzed and publications are in preparation by the science team; we comment on the fact that science outcomes were new and ground-breaking, revealing frictional heating took place at the toe of the plate boundary zone, matching the location detected by LWD and geological samples [14].
The preparation of future science teachers must become a joint responsibility between faculties in science departments and schools of education (NRC, 1998, 2000a, 2003a).
The science preparation is especially problematic in New York City, where the shortage of qualified teachers is acute and many schools lack science laboratories.
The author describes truffles as "a foodstuff whose appeal is entirely to the nose," and provides legend, history, science, preparation and efforts at cultivation with some recipes.
At a recent event, engineering, disaster preparation and climate science professors at Columbia University urged lawmakers to take advantage of the public's post Hurricane Sandy interest in global warming and push through bold policies.
This is the verdict on all the counts.... Alike for the most perfect production and highest enjoyment of art in all its forms, the needful preparation is still — Science.
