Mathematical biology education provides key foundational underpinnings for the scholarly work of mathematical biology. Professional societies support such education efforts via funding, public speaking opportunities, Web presence, publishing, workshops, prizes, opportunities to discuss curriculum design, and support of mentorship and other means of sustained communication among communities of scholars. Such programs have been critical to the broad expansion of the range and visibility of research and educational activities in mathematical biology. We review these efforts, past and present, across multiple societies—the Society for Mathematical Biology (SMB), the Symposium on Biomathematics and Ecology Education and Research (BEER), the Mathematical Association of America (MAA), and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM). We then proceed to suggest ways that professional societies can serve as advocates and community builders for mathematical biologists at all levels, noting that education continues throughout a career and also emphasizing the value of educating new generations of students. Our suggestions include collecting and disseminating data related to biomath education; developing and maintaining mentoring systems and research communities; and providing incentives and visibility for educational efforts within mathematical biology.

支付我们的会费：专业社会在数学生物学教育演变中的作用

数学生物学教育为数学生物学的学术工作提供了关键的基础。专业协会通过资助、公开演讲机会、网络存在、出版、研讨会、奖品、讨论课程设计的机会以及支持指导和学者社区之间持续沟通的其他方式来支持此类教育工作。这些计划对于扩大数学生物学研究和教育活动的范围和可见性至关重要。我们回顾了过去和现在跨多个社会的这些努力——数学生物学学会 (SMB)、生物数学和生态教育与研究研讨会 (BEER)、美国数学协会 (MAA) 以及工业和应用数学（SIAM）。然后，我们继续建议专业协会可以作为各级数学生物学家的倡导者和社区建设者的方式，并指出教育贯穿整个职业生涯，并强调教育新一代学生的价值。我们的建议包括收集和传播与生物数学教育相关的数据；开发和维护指导系统和研究社区；并为数学生物学领域的教育工作提供激励和可见性。我们的建议包括收集和传播与生物数学教育相关的数据；开发和维护指导系统和研究社区；并为数学生物学领域的教育工作提供激励和可见性。我们的建议包括收集和传播与生物数学教育相关的数据；开发和维护指导系统和研究社区；并为数学生物学领域的教育工作提供激励和可见性。
