The purpose of this article is to contribute to a theoretical knowledge base through research by examining factors salient to science education reform and practice in the context of socioscientific issues. The study explores how individuals negotiate and resolve genetic engineering dilemmas. A mixed-methods approach was used to examine patterns of…

Discusses the problem of providing sufficient protein to increasing populations, especially in underdeveloped countries. Focuses on the impact of the Green Revolution, genetics in improving protein yields, the expansion of fisheries, protein wastage in rearing animals and processing food, and the potential of microorganisms as a food source.

A number of card-carrying academics have found that intellectual freedom stops where unpopular ideas begin. (Editor)

Presentation at a one-day symposium on the History of Intelligence Testing and Its Public Policy Implications, March 23, 1973, Southern Regional Council, Atlanta, Ga. (RJ)

Attempts to show that the purportedly scientific'' empirical basis of credentialism and I.Q.-ism'' is false; and to facilitate linkages between the groups who are being discriminated against the workers' movements within the white male labor force, by showing that the same mechanisms are used to divide strata against one another so as to…

Examines historically the attitudes of United States and British geneticists on the topic of race crossing. Between 1930 and 1950 the attitudes changed from a condemnation of wide race crosses because of deleterious effects to a belief that such inter-racial crosses were at worst biologically harmless.

If the aim of new research is to improve the genetic inheritance of future generations, then decisions regarding who should decide what research should be done needs to be established. Positive and negative eugenics need to be considered thoroughly. (PS)

Manipulation of genes in human beings on a large scale is not possible under present conditions because it lacks economic potential and other attractions for industry. However, preventive'' genetic engineering may be a field for vast research in the future and will perhaps be approved by governments, parishes, people and industry. (PS)

Describes a computer program used at a genetic stock center to locate particular strains of bacteria. The program can match up to 30 strain descriptions requested by a researcher with the records on file. Uses of this particular program can be made in many fields. (PS)

Models from evolutionary theory and inbreeding analysis are used to illustrate applications of probability, statistics, sequences, calculus, and matrix theory to genetics. (MM)

Describes gene infusion, the continual replacement of genes for insecticide susceptibility into insect populations, to control the level of resistant genes in pest populations. (AL)

Describes an approach to teaching the Hardy-Weinberg Law in high school genetics class. Instructional procedures used help in developing this concept in broad generalization form rather than merely a mathematical model of a gene pool. (PS)

Nine males with Klinefelter's syndrome (XXY) and seven XYY males, located primarily in prisons and psychiatric hospitals, were administered the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory. (Author/KW)
