BIG/PIE (Biology Interaction Group/Partners in Education) is a project
sponsored by the NSF and run at Canisius College in Buffalo, NY. It is run
by Dr. Edward C. Kisailus of the Biology Department. The project involved
two weeks of laboratory workshops and lectures for high school biology
teachers. It also involves periodic lectures by members of the Canisius
faculty which are presently ongoing. The purpose of this is to help improve
high school science education as indicated by the President's National Com-
mission on Excellence in Education. Thus far, the project has been highly
successful.
One of the conditions set by the NSF was that information about this
type of project be disseminated to other interested parties. Therefore,
we are currently experimenting with the use of USENET, an electronic
Bulletin Board, to determine if electronic mail is a viable means of com-
munication for BIG/PIE-type projects.
If you are interested in this type of communications network, please
contact us as soon as possible at either our UUCP or U.S. mail address.
