 | | Explore BioLogos' New Science is Good Dashboard
BioLogos has launched the Science is Good Dashboard, an interactive resource that affirms science as a God-given gift. The dashboard features personal stories of Christians in science, reflections on how science can be used to live out Kingdom values, and simple actions we can take together to stand for science. We're especially excited that videos recorded with ASA members at ASA 2025 are included in this collection. Explore the dashboard here. |
 | | Record Student/Early Career Participation at ASA 2025!
We were delighted to have 75 student/early career scientists who attended ASA 2025 in Lakewood, CO. This was made possible through scholarships awarded to these young and enthusiastic professionals, thanks to your generous support. Your generosity supports student/early career initiatives at ASA, including (1) developing innovative programming, (2) growing partnerships with campus ministries, and (3) supporting emerging leaders through events and scholarships. Would you prayerfully consider a designated gift toward the next generation of ASA members? To make a gift, please click here. |
 | | Science & Religion: An Introductory Course with Denis Lamoureux
This course examines the nature of both science and religion and attempts to explore the possible relationships between them. The primary purpose is to dispel the popular myth that science and religion are entrenched in a never-ending conflict. As a result, this course argues that if the limits of both science and religion are respected, then their relationship can be complementary. The course will be a hybrid format. Details and registration information can be found here. Please register by Wednesday, September 17. |
