Welcome! The Biology Alliance is sponsored by Northern Kentucky University's Center for Integrative Natural Science and Mathematics (CINSAM). This group seeks to meet the needs of local educators regarding K-12 biology education by providing professional development activities, opportunities to exchange ideas, and appropriate resources for elementary, middle, and high school.
