Life Science Teachers: Content, Support Advice

I put together a page of resources, just a few items but with a plan to grow it, HERE.

Really awesome stuff. I especially like the formalism in the first item (necessary and sufficient conditions), but then, I'm a physicist, not a squishy biologist :-)
