ASU Now and Miami University featured alumna Rachel Yoho and BSCEB Director Bruce Rittmann’s recent article, “Climate change and energy technologies in undergraduate introductory science textbooks,” in the journal, Environmental Communication.
Yoho and Rittmann examined more than 15,000 pages from current editions of 16 leading physics, biology and chemistry undergraduate textbooks published between 2013 and 2015. They found that less than 4 percent of pages discussed climate change, global warming, related environmental issues or renewable energy.
