"The most important people in America are the teachers," began Dr. Bruce Alberts while addressing the 1998 "Woodies" Sunday, July 19. Dr. Alberts, a noted molecular biologist, serves as president of the National Academy of Science. The Academy is a component of the National Research Council which investigates problems proposed by the US government.In 1991 The NRC conducted a major study of global climate change. The results of that study are available at www.nas.edu.
The Academy also focuses on science education. Alberts believes that in order to excite children about science, schools need to provide hands-on activities and build upon the knowledge of experts in the scientific community. Universities need to align their education courses with national standards and introduce institutional rewards for science faculty who initiate and support exciting and innovative programs.
Dr. Alberts ended with a quote from Alfred North Whitehead, "A country that does not value trained intelligence is doomed."
Dr. Alberts signs a copy of his book.
