Education and Public Programs
AIBS is dedicated to improving biological science literacy at all levels of formal and informal education. AIBS works toward meeting this goal through a number of initiatives: recognizing teaching professionals, collaborating with other organizations, disseminating information, publishing teaching resources to improve biology education, and encouraging students to pursue careers in biology. AIBS also supports innovative programs that connect science to the public and that encourage a true appreciation of the value of the biological sciences to society.
