Biology Students Weigh in with Powers That Be

Penny Orr`s biology students recently had a real life experience in democratic citizenry through an exercise involving problems relating to world fisheries problems - specifically the pros and cons of farmed vs wild-caught fish. Students read newspaper articles and researched the topic in order to develop an informed opinion about the problem. They then wrote letters proposing a solution supported by research and sent them to environmental organizations, the media, and politicians.
