What’s more fun than a case study in intro bio class? A case study adapted into a play, complete with costumes, props, sets, and audience participation!

We are devastated to report that NABT President-Elect Lindsey (Carter) Fields was aboard the AA Airlines 5342.
This is a tremendous loss. Please keep Lindsey, the other victims, and their families in your hearts. We also ask that you respect the privacy of her loved ones at this time.
