Information for presenters<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Dr. Lisa D. White\u2014University of California, Berkeley, Museum of Paleontology<\/a><\/p>\n Dr. Lisa D. White is Director of Education at the University of California Museum of Paleontology. In this role she develops teaching and learning materials on evolution, the nature and process of science, and global change. A micropaleontologist by training, she is active in efforts to increase diversity and inclusion in the Earth and environmental sciences.<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Dr. Rob Guralnick, University of Florida<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Dr. Rob Guralnick is Associate Curator of\u00a0Biodiversity Informatics at the University of Florida and the Florida Museum of Natural History.\u00a0 His interdisciplinary\u00a0research focuses on what causes spatiotemporal changes in genetic and species diversity and he works across a broad spectrum of organisms.\u00a0 His lab is involved in\u00a0building web-based tools so all may access, visualize and analyze\u00a0legacy and current biodiversity distribution and\u00a0environmental data.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Dr. Jennifer Bauer, University of Florida<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Dr.\u00a0Jennifer Bauer is a Postdoctoral Associate with the Thompson Institute for Earth Systems and Florida Museum at the University of Florida where she researches the evolution, morphology <\/em>and functionality of extinct echinoderms.<\/em><\/p>\n Randy Singer, University of Florida<\/strong><\/p>\n Randy Singer is a Ph.D. student under Dr. Lawrence Page funded by the NSF iDigBio Program. He is working on natural history collections communications with regards to collection uses in research, education, and outreach, specifically in fish collections. He will also work on Southeast Asian Cypriniformes and deep-sea fishes.<\/em><\/p>\n Ana Paula dos Santos de Carvalho, University of Florida<\/strong><\/p>\n Ana Paula dos Santos de Carvalho is a Ph.D Candidate at the University of Florida Department of Entomology and Nematology where she is researching the evolution of sexual traits and male-female interaction in butterflies.<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Dr. Jennifer H. Doherty, University of Washington<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Dr. Jennifer H. Doherty is Senior Lecturer\u00a0at the University of Washington and teaches Introductory Biology, including ecology and physiology. Her research focuses on how 6th grade through college students develop principle-based reasoning. She uses a learning progressions approach that coherently links students\u2019 na\u00efve conceptions, data from learning assessments, and instructional tools and approaches.<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Bringing the field and the fossils to your classrooms: using visualization tools to increase data literacy and teach biodiversity in deep time.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n The extensive fossil holdings and significant online resources at the University of California Museum of Paleontology (UCMP) are accessible through educational websites, databases, specimen photographs, and digital archival materials. Two award-winning UCMP websites, Understanding Evolution<\/em> and Understanding Science,<\/em> provide novel ways to engage the K-16 education community in how evolution and science works. As the UCMP continues to expand online resources, virtual field experiences (VFEs) of unique fossil sites combine digitally integrated gigapixel resolution images, high quality panoramas, photographs and video clips with explanatory text. As users navigate along virtual exposures, an analysis of fossil specimens invites a better understanding biodiversity changes in deep time. The newest UCMP web resource, Understanding Global Change,<\/em> provides rich visualizations and informational graphics to teach and assess student understanding of the causes and measurable impacts of global change. The development of this resource is especially timely given the NGSS\u00a0emphasis on cross-cutting concepts, model building, and Earth system science.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Is the ability to identify organisms a prerequisite for understanding biodiversity, ecology and the patterns of evolution?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Is a students\u2019 ability to engage in the scientific practices of naming and grouping organisms crucial to their learning of biodiversity, ecology and evolutionary relatedness? Dr. Doherty will present two studies investigating this question. Using the learning progression framework, Dr. Doherty and her colleagues looked at three dimensional learning of the patterns of evolution. This framework describes how students\u2019 progress in naming and grouping organisms, explaining the length of change over time, and the role of common ancestry in evolutionary relatedness are intertwined. This framework can be used as a template for conceptual learning through scientific practice, the learning advocated by NGSS, Vision and Change and ESA\u2019s new Four-Dimensional Ecology Education Framework. Dr. Doherty will also present evidence on the relationship between a students\u2019 ability to name and group living organisms and their ability to reason about ecological systems and communities.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Biodiversity unfolds: \u00a0The most interesting questions are the integrative ones that require multiple lines of evidence.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n What is the role of bioinformatics and big data in the study spatiotemporal changes in genetic and species diversity? Where do these data come from? Dr. Guralnick will share insights on the modern opportunities to incorporate biodiversity data and the opportunities that open access to such data can create for a modern Biology education around ideas of scale, space and time. Witness new dimensions unfolding in biodiversity science \u2013 and what educators can do to prepare the next generation of scientists for a fast changing biology. Dr. Guralnick will share the tools available to scientists and to educators including tools for georeferencing the world\u2019s legacy biodiversity data, examining how species diversity changes over longer time scales, using evolutionary tools, and how current environmental changes are impacting species distributions, phenology (e.g. seasonal events)\u00a0and phenotypes (e.g. body size).<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Natural history collections hold a wealth of biodiversity data that reaches across both space and time. Museums are also home to a diverse array of scientists that are using specimens and their data to answer a variety of questions about life on earth. This keynote session will feature lightning talks from three students and early career professionals from the Florida Museum to demonstrate the variety of uses for biodiversity data followed by a panel discussion where participants can ask questions about their research, and applications for the classroom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For information on sessions, please click on the links below.
