SUMMARY:Patience\, Industry\, and a Fair Share of Invention – Lessons from Charles Darwin the “Experimentiser”
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an NSF Directorate for Biological Sciences (BIO) Distinguished Lecture for Darwin Day (Feb. 12)\, featuring Jim Costa\, PhD\, Executive Director of the Highlands Biological Station and Professor of Biology at Western Carolina University. \nWhile Darwin Day occurs on February 12 (Charles Darwin’s birthday) the lecture will occur on Thursday\, February 10\, 2022 from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM EST. \nView the lecture: https://nsf.zoomgov.com/j/1612020119?pwd=bW5Mb2dEMEg5OFZxUTAzaE12dzhOdz09\nMeeting ID: 161 202 0119\nPasscode: 749557 \nReal-Time Captioning:  https://www.captionedtext.com/client/event.aspx?EventID=5028873&Customer\nEvent ID: 5028873 \nDr. Costa’s lecture is titled “Patience\, Industry\, and a Fair Share of Invention – Lessons from Charles Darwin the ‘Experimentiser’.” \nAbstract\nCharles Darwin is best known as the author of the watershed book On the Origin of Species\, the founding document of modern evolutionary biology — a work he famously referred to as “one long argument\,” tying together seemingly disparate strands of evidence into a cohesive and compelling argument for evolution by natural selection.  Less well known is the fact that Darwin authored another 10 books following the Origin\, more than half of which treated his extensive experimental work on botanical subjects — works that we might call Darwin’s “one longer argument.”  In this talk\, I explore the research method behind Darwin’s “long arguments\,” in particular his talent for gaining profound scientific insights with simple\, DIY experiments.   Darwin loved “experimentising” — from his study and garden to his greenhouse and meadows\, he was constantly enlisting family and friends\, and crowd-sourcing\, to collect data.  Darwin’s working method offers valuable lessons for science educators today in revealing science at its most essential: forget fancy equipment\, science is at heart a process of learning to see and ask questions\, accessible to anyone\, and ultimately a collective endeavor. \nAbout Dr. Jim Costa\nJim Costa is Executive Director of the Highlands Biological Station and Professor of Biology at Western Carolina University\, where he teaches courses in biogeography and evolution.  An entomologist and evolutionary biologist by training\, Jim’s research and writing ranges from insect social evolution to the history of evolutionary thinking.  He has authored numerous research papers and seven books\, most recently Darwin’s Backyard: How Small Experiments Led to a Big Theory (W.W. Norton\, 2017) and the edited volume An Alfred Russel Wallace Companion (Chicago\, 2019)\, and his work has been supported by NSF\, USDA\, USFSW\, and fellowships with Harvard’s Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study\, the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin\, and the LuEsther T. Mertz Library of the New York Botanical Garden.  Jim is a long-time Research Associate of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard\, and he currently serves as a Trustee of the London-based Charles Darwin Trust.  In 2017 Jim was awarded the Alfred Russel Wallace Medal for his contributions to Wallace scholarship.

SUMMARY:Adaptation for Survival: Humans and Their Pathogens
DESCRIPTION:Nita Bharti\, Penn State assistant professor of biology\, will deliver a virtual lecture titled “Adaptation for Survival: Humans and Their Pathogens” at 4 p.m. on Thursday\, Feb. 10\, as part of Penn State’s 2022 Darwin Day celebration. Advance registration is required for the event\, which is open to the public. \nBharti has been part of the Penn State faculty and a member of Penn State’s Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics since 2016. Her research focuses on how the interactions between humans and their environment affect the spread of infectious diseases. In addition to combining modern remote sensing and conventional field epidemiology to quantify how human movement influences infection risk and the impact of interventions\, Bharti also develops methods to overcome biases in the detectability of disease in underserved populations to decrease health inequities. \nBharti’s Darwin Day lecture will examine how understanding human-pathogen interactions in the environmental and cultural contexts in which they occur is a global health priority. She will discuss how local context can help identify and integrate unconventional types of data on humans\, pathogens and environments to help prevent diseases that threaten humans (like measles and Hendra virus) in the populations where they most urgently need to be addressed. \nDarwin Day is an international celebration held each year around Charles Darwin’s birthday (Feb. 12\, 1809) to recognize his contributions to science and to promote science in general. This year’s Penn State celebration is co-sponsored by the Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences and the Center for Human Evolution and Diversity in the College of the Liberal Arts; to learn more\, contact Tess Wilson at tmw119@psu.edu.

SUMMARY:Squamate Speciation Symposium
DESCRIPTION:2022 Darwin Day with NABT & NCSE\nThursday\, February 10th\n7:00PM – 8:30PM ET (6:00PM CT / 5:00PM MT / 4:00PM PT)Snakes are really odd\, really successful kinds of lizards. They are so successful and so unusual that most people don’t even think they are lizards. The origin of snakes has led to a deep well of questions: When and why did they lose their limbs? Why don’t snakes have eyelids? What’s up with all the tongue flicking? \nJoin us for a special encore presentation of the popular “Squamate Speciation Symposium” that was presented during the 2021 NABT Conference in Atlanta. This session will explore the origins of limblessness\, the discovery of the largest snake of all time\, Titanoboa cerrejonensis\, and how 3D imaging of museum specimens opens up a whole new world of opportunities for scientists and educators alike. \nPresented by –\nEdward L. Stanley\, oVert program/Florida Museum\, University of Florida\, Gainesville\, FL \nRebecca Brewer\, Troy High School\, NCSE Teacher Ambassador\, Troy\, MI\, and \nLin Andrews\, Director of Teacher Support\, NCSE\, Oakland\, CA \nNABT will be using Zoom Webinar for this event and login instructions will be sent via email from conference@nabt.org.

SUMMARY:Darwin Days Virtual Presentation – Incredible Insects – Moth vs Predator: 1000 ways to die\, 1001 ways to survive
DESCRIPTION:New York is home to around 4\,000 species of moths and butterflies that are integral parts of our ecosystems. Hundreds of species of birds\, mammals\, arachnids\, and insects depend on them for food\, but they are not always an easy meal. Both caterpillars and adults employ everything from leaping\, biting\, stabbing\, yelling\, and stinging to more passive strategies like poisons\, camouflage\, and mimicry. \nIn this talk we will look at the myriad of predators\, parasites\, and parasitoids looking for a meal and the strategies that moths and butterflies use to survive with Dr. Jason J. Dombroskie\, Manager of the Cornell University Insect Collection (CUIC) & Coordinator of the Insect Diagnostic Lab (IDL). \nThis event is hosted by the Paleontological Research Institution (PRI)\, and is part of a recurring event series called “Science in the Virtual Pub.” This year on February 6 – 12\, PRI and its Museum of the Earth will hold events for “Darwin Days\,” the annual celebration of the life and ideas of Charles Darwin. This year\, PRI is collaborating with Cornell University’s entomology department to offer virtual and in person events exploring the world of insects.
