SUMMARY:Moriarty Science Seminar: Searching for Thylacines
DESCRIPTION:Searching for Thylacines (Tasmanian Wolves or Tigers) in Natural History Collections\nMonday\, September 23\, 2024\, 12:00 – 1:00 p.m.\nEarth Theater and online via Zoom\nFeaturing John Wible\, Curator of Mammals at Carnegie Museum of Natural History\nThis lecture is free. Museum admission is not required.\n\nEuropeans settled Tasmania in 1803. One-hundred and twenty-seven years later\, the last thylacine was shot in the wild in northwest Tasmania\, and on September 7\, 1936\, the last known thylacine died in captivity at the Hobart Zoo. What happened during those 133 years that resulted in the extermination of this largest marsupial carnivore? Multiple factors are responsible\, including public misperceptions that led to private and government bounties. Science\, natural history museums\, and zoos played a role\, with a mad dash to obtain specimens before there were no more.  \nSome 500 thylacine specimens are in museums today\, including one relatively complete skeleton in the Section of Mammals\, Carnegie Museum of Natural History. The origin of the CM specimen is a mystery; it was accessioned in 1942 along with 211 specimens discovered during a storeroom reorganization. Inspired by the CM specimen\, John Wible’s bucket list is to study in person as many of these thylacines as possible\, documenting variation in skull morphology.  \nClick here to register to attend virtually via Zoom. Registration is not necessary to attend in person. Museum admission is not included with the lecture. Visitor Services staff can direct you to Earth Theater on arrival.

SUMMARY:Moriarty Science Seminar: How the Herbarium Shaped Botany
DESCRIPTION:Imperial Order: How the Herbarium Shaped Botany from the Enlightenment to the Early United States\nMonday\, October 7\, 2024\, 12:00 – 1:00 p.m.\nEarth Theater and online via Zoom\nFeaturing Molly Hardy\, National Endowment for the Humanities\nThis lecture is free\, museum admission is not required.\n\nA product of the Enlightenment\, the herbarium cabinet lays out strictures for the natural world\, and it became the way that botanical information was organized\, but it also came to organize botanical thinking. Through its reordering of nature into the taxonomic system of categories and relationships within those categories\, the herbarium takes the ecological system as it exists in the natural world and effectively makes a new system. This new system is what Dr. Hardy calls an “information ecology\,” one in which the plant must first become a singular\, individual unit— a species specimen—that then can be ordered to function in Botany’s taxonomic systems.  \nThe talk begins with a look at Carl Linnaeus’ plans for the herbarium cabinet\, laid out in his botanical treatise\, Philosophia Botanica (1751). Linnaeus eschewed the bound book for a piece of furniture filled with plants dried on sheets and organized according to his botanical system. This new information architecture ordered flora in a way that reflected Botany’s inextricable ties to empire. The herbarium reflected the philosophical thinking underlying Linnaeus’ work\, and then\, the herbarium came to shape botanical thinking by atomizing plant communities and mechanizing plant specimens for ease of ordering and reordering\, storing and retrieving.  \nDr. Hardy next turns to Botany in the early United States\, where the Linnaean system of botanical order was adopted. A century after Linnaeus\, Asa Gray\, a self-proclaimed “closet botanist\,” praised the herbarium as the indispensable tool for the burgeoning field of plant science in the United States. The individuation of species\, required for the herbarium to function\, became Gray’s life work as he toiled tirelessly to classify and name the plants collected as the new nation expanded west. Plants from these peripheries of the American empire came east to be organized\, and ordered\, in Gray’s herbarium at Harvard.   \n Click here to register to attend virtually via Zoom. Registration is not necessary. Museum admission is not included with the lecture. Visitor Services staff can direct you to Earth Theater on arrival.

SUMMARY:Moriarty Science Seminar: How Geckos Rule the Night
DESCRIPTION:Photo Credit: Tyger Williams\, TNS \nHow Geckos Rule the Night: From Ancient Amber to Modern Stowaways\nMonday\, October 21\, 2024\, 12:00 – 1:00 p.m.\nEarth Theater and online via Zoom\nFeaturing Aaron Bauer\, Villanova University\nThis lecture is free. Museum admission is not required.\nWith more than 2300 extant species\, geckos are one of the most species-rich groups of living reptiles and can be seen as an evolutionary success story. Their distinctive body plan was established approximately 150 million years ago and they had already diversified extensively by the Late Cretaceous\, as demonstrated by 100-million-year-old amber fossils from Myanmar. Most geckos are nocturnal\, and this is likely one of the keys to the success of the group. The evolution of diverse architectures of adhesive toepads has also promoted diversification in gecko lineages. Although constrained in some aspects of their morphology and ecology\, modern gecko diversity is promoted by the combination of substrate specificity and low vagility\, resulting in extensive allopatric speciation. As a result\, many gecko genera are speciose\, but individual species are restricted to small areas of occurrence. Paradoxically\, a few species of geckos have evolved traits that not only permit them to occupy larger areas\, but also make them successful invasive species. These few “super-colonizers” have been spread between continents through human activity\, from the trans-Atlantic slave trade to the development of modern shipping routes.  \nClick here to register to attend virtually via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Educator Workshop: Real Science in the Classroom
DESCRIPTION:This workshop takes place at Powdermill Nature Reserve in Rector\, PA \nUnderstanding scientific research and how to apply it is an important part of a learner’s process and will be a critical component of the new STEELS standards. Join us at Carnegie Museum of Natural History’s environmental research center in Rector\, PA for this new workshop focused on incorporating scientific research into curriculum and informal learning programs. Using the new STEELS standards as guidance\, Powdermill educators and experts will discuss how we apply ecological research and how to make it understandable and accessible to learners.  \nWe encourage formal and informal educators from all disciplines to join us for this great opportunity to collaborate and share ideas. \nIf more than 50% of your students qualify for free or reduced-price school lunch\, your school or organization will be eligible for a scholarship towards a museum field trip after the workshop.  \nFunding is available to reimburse your school or district for substitute teacher costs on the day that you attend this workshop. \nWhen: Tuesday\, October 22\, 2024\, 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.\nWhere: Powdermill Nature Reserve\, Rector\, PA\n\n\n[swcheckout site=”6″ item=”132871″]

SUMMARY:Moriarty Science Seminar: Genomics\, Informatics\, and Conservation
DESCRIPTION:Genomics\, Informatics\, and Conservation\nMonday\, November 11\, 2024\, 12:00 – 1:00 p.m.\nEarth Theater and online via Zoom\nFeaturing Keith Crandall\, George Washington University\nThis lecture is free. Museum admission is not required.\nOmics technologies (genomics\, transcriptomics\, metagenomics\, etc.) have revolutionized insights into organismal diversity\, evolutionary history\, and functional diversity – all critical elements of effective conservation\, management\, and sustainability practices. Advances in new data types require novel computational tools to effectively take advantage of such data and integrate with additional relevant data (e.g.\, demographic\, economic\, climate\, geologic\, etc.). The Crandall Lab develops tools for omics data analyses (especially DNA/RNA sequence data) and integration with other data types. Some of these tools and applications will be demonstrated with ongoing research projects around microbiome research\, conservation\, and sustainability with links to ongoing international projects including FutureEarth\, World Registry of Marine Species (WoRMS)\, and the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and associated Species Survival Commission (SSC). \nClick here to register to attend virtually via Zoom. Registration is not necessary to attend in person. Museum admission is not included with the lecture. Visitor Services staff can direct you to Earth Theater on arrival.
