Norman will suggest strategies for scientists to communicate the<br>
importance of evolutionary biology to the general public and to
explain<br>
how Intelligent Design theory does not fit with accepted
scientific<br>
evidence. He will also highlight what molecular evolutionary studies
can<br>
tell us about the natural history of our species.<br>

<div><font face="Times New Roman">The CV (curriculum vitae) is used
for the academic job search (and in some cases, by PhDs seeking a
research position in other settings). Come and get some advice about
the format and contents of an effective CV, as well as an overview of
the academic job search process. Learn about the etiquette of asking
for references. Bring 3 copies of your CV or draft for a peer
critiquing exercise. Steve Strang, Director of MIT's Writing and
Communications Center will provide his insights into the academic job
search.</font><br>
