A Dash of Green - and so it begins

In preparation, albeit early preparation, for the spring semester I have created this blog.  This will serve as the class blog site for the course Grassroots Biology that I am teaching at Salem College.  All students will contribute to this blog on a weekly basis, so that we can share our biological inquiry and activism with the Salem College community and beyond.  I will update the blog more often as we get closer to the semester and students will begin to contribute as part of their coursework.

FYI, the web address "adashofgreen" for this blog comes from two parts. 
1) Winston-Salem, the home of Salem College, is affectionately refered to as "The Dash" and
2) The class will ultimately look at the biology behind the green movement. 

Personally, I think its catchy!! Welcome.
