This is the science center where we teach the monks. Alistair and I are helping Dr. Pierce and another teacher, Chris, teach a second-year class on evolution. Like any other class, there are students who are very attentive and taking notes in the front of the class and other who are on their phones or giggling in the back with other monks. They are all very kind and seem to enjoy learning and asking questions. It is interesting to see what concepts tend to stump them like the differentiating between scientific and Buddhist ideas of a living organism and sentience.
