Wiles is mentioned for his participation in the National Science Foundation-funded Teacher Advisory Board (TAB), which has helped grow the Internet resources and teaching materials for ensuring the engagement of students in the science of evolutionary biology.
This past February, Wiles presented new research on how evolution is viewed and taught in predominantly Islamic nations during the 2011 annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Washington, D.C.
In addition to his appointment in the Department of Biology in SU’s College of Arts and Sciences, Wiles is a member of the college’s Department of Science Teaching.
