A new BioScience article from the RISE Center, Challenges to Evolution as a Core Concept in College Biology: Silence on Religion and Conflicting Goals for Acceptance, examines how college biology instructors teach the core concept of evolution in undergraduate courses.

In this study, Dr. Erin Rowland-Schaefer and colleagues surveyed college biology instructors across the United States to explore how evolution is taught in undergraduate biology courses. The findings reveal challenges to implementing national recommendations for evolution education.
