A Scientific Society's Response to the Vision and Change Report

美国植物生物学家协会正在举办一个研讨会，将在2011年8月的年度会议上举行，以讨论和制定社会计划，以响应美国科学促进会资助的报告，本科教育的愿景和变化（V C），行动呼吁（定于2月19日发布）。 该研讨会将吸引200名与会者，代表广泛的机构类型（从社区学院到R1大学）和植物生物学兴趣（从植物分子生物学和基因组学到对种群之间的生态相互作用感兴趣的人）。 正在作出特别努力，吸引该地区部落学院的教员。 还计划将研讨会作为一个起点，以确定：响应维也纳公约建议的资源、这些资源中的差距、传播现有资源的机会以及开发新资源以解决已查明差距的机会。

The American Society of Plant Biologists is instituting a workshop, to be held at their annual meeting in August of 2011, in order to discuss and formulate plans for the society to respond to an NSF funded report from the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Vision and Change (V&C) in Undergraduate Education, A Call to Action (scheduled for release February 19). The workshop will engage 200 conferees representing a wide spectrum of institutional types (from community colleges to R1 universities) and plant biology interests (from plant molecular biology and genomics to those interested in ecological interactions between populations). Special efforts are being made to attract faculty from the tribal colleges in the area. The workshop is also being planned to serve as a starting point for identifying: resources for responding to V&C recommendations, gaps in those resources, opportunities to disseminate existing resources, and opportunities to develop new resources to address identified gaps.
