The  scientific    needs  to  be  involved  in  promoting  science  education,    evolution.  So  says  the  January  issue  of  the  FASEB  Journal.  FASEB  is  the  Federation  of  American  Societies  for  Experimental  Biology.  Sixteen  other  organizations  also  signed  on  to  the  recommendation,  including  the    Academy  of  Sciences  and  the  American  Institute  of  Physics.  The  article  notes  that  the  introduction  of  nonscience,  such  as    and  intelligent  design,  undermines  fundamentals  of  science  educationsuch  as  using  the  scientific  method,  understanding  how  to  reach  scientific  consensus  and  telling  scientific  explanations  for  natural  phenomena  apart  from  nonscientific  ones.  The  article    a  survey  of  a  thousand  likely  US  voters.  Those  able  to  answer  simple  questions  about  plate  tectonics,  proper  antibiotic  use  and  prehistory  were  far  more  likely  to  support  evolution  education.  Said  journal  editor  Gerald,  "The  bottom  line  is  that  the  world  is  round,  humans  evolved  from  an  extinct  species,  and  Elvis  is  dead.  This  survey  is  a  wake-up  call  for  anyone  who  supports  teaching  information  based  on    rather  than  speculation  or  hope;  people  want  to  hear  the  truth,  and  they  want  to  hear  it  from  scientists."
