The National Center for Science Education has announced the retirement of Executive Director Eugenie Scott.

Scott has long been one of the most prominent voices against creationism and intelligent design.  Her books and public appearances consistently articulated a bold anti-creationism without, IMHO, attacking religion itself or religious people.  In the angry world of creation/evolution controversy, that has been a significant accomplishment.

We will be watching carefully to see who NCSE picks to replace her.   If you’re interested in the job, check out the job posting.
