AIBS Education Reports
The AIBS Education Office provides analysis and communication for the AIBS Board, Headquarters Office, and Education Committee on issues of import to the AIBS membership and the larger scientific community. Reports are broadly disseminated by email every few months to AIBS membership leaders and contacts. Special reports are sent more frequently as needed. We have archived these reports here for your information and attention. Read about each report's contents below, then click to read the complete text.
AIBS's Education Office is in the process of evaluating the impact of the Education Report. As a reader of these Reports, your input is invaluable in helping staff determine future content and delivery. Please visit http://www.aibs.org/education/survey.html to take a quick five-question survey. If you are interested in providing email comments directly to AIBS staff, contact Susan Musante at .org with your thoughts.
