Brown, Beverly J. [1], Dahl, William [2].

WWW.BOTANY.ORG - As an educational tool and promoting plants in science education.

Did you realize that there are over 2,000 images on the BSA website? How about the fact that each links to plant-related educational information and/or research? Did you know that you can search the American Journal of Botany archives on www.botany.org? Plant Science Bulletin? How about the fact that the BSA is developing new ways to support scientific inquiry though plants (BSA Sci-π) as well as adding new resources for K-12 teachers? Come and hear how the BSA website is designed to promote botany, plants, science and the work of BSA members. Learn what is currently available on the site and future development plans. Hear how you can assist the Society and support our broader educational objectives. From images to archives, educational resources to BSA Sci-π, you can play a role in connecting people to plants and help us meet our mission.
