It seems that The Society for the Study of Evolution is getting wise to the need for a more proactive approach to changing public perceptions. An anti-wedge strategy document has been produced and one of the suggestions is:
“To achieve these medium term goals, the societies should establish a joint
communications and outreach committee that will coordinate efforts among the societies,and seek professional help in developing an integrated PR/mass communication plan.”
The anti-wedge document can be found at the society’s website.
Below is a call for images of evolution from The Society for the Study of Evolution’s website: http://www.evolutionsociety.org
-–who said art and science share different goals?

ImageThiss of Evolution: Fame although not Fortune

We are seeking images (photographs, drawings, illustrations, or any other images) that illustrate evolutionary biology, including those that reflect the diversity of organisms (including plants, animals, microorganisms and fossils) studied by evolutionary biologists. The images will be used on the Society’s newly designed website, both as illustrations and also for a new feature in which users will be able to send electronic postcards with these images. All images used will become copyright by SSE, and credited to the people who created them. Credits will appear prominently on each image.
Please submit images to
mjonas@life.bio.sunysb.edu
Thank you in advance for your submissions. We view this effort as part of showing the beauty of evolutionary biology to visitors to the web site, and making the subject more approachable and accessible to the public.
