SUMMARY:21st Century Naturalist
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Laurie Giarratani\, Director of Education\, Carnegie Museum of Natural History \n \nAnthropocene problem-solving presents an urgent need for creative\, community-minded\, multidisciplinary thinkers and doers.  Addressing concerns like climate change\, habitat alteration\, and biodiversity loss requires understanding of nature\, science and technology\, and the ability to examine how these systems are interconnected.  With funding from the Spencer Foundation\, a team of CMNH scientists\, Learning Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh\, and community partners have been working together to find new ways to activate museum resources and build a diverse community of 21st Century Naturalists in the Pittsburgh region. \nThis is a Carnegie Discoverers meeting. Learn more about Carnegie Discoverers and how to join.

SUMMARY:Science and Nature Program and Nature Explorers
DESCRIPTION:A Living Museum: A History of the Land at Powdermill Nature Reserve\nThe land at Powdermill has a long history even before the establishment of the nature reserve in 1956. Pamela Curtin\, Education Coordinator at the Westmoreland Historical Society\, will share an historical overview of Powdermill and how people have used the landscape over time. Whether using its natural resources for agriculture\, logging\, or mining\, or by studying its flora and fauna to understand and conserve the natural environment\, people have changed the land\, and some remnants of these changes are visible today. The effects of human activity are both unique to the area and reflective of larger historical trends and challenges that the state and region have faced. This research uses a blend of historical documents\, such as written records and images\, as well as modern GIS technologies to understand both past and present at Powdermill. After the lecture\, please join us for a short hike to find evidence of human impact on the land. \nPowdermill Exploration\nWhat happened at Powdermill before it became a nature reserve? What has happened since? Children will discover the long history of Powdermill’s land by studying historic images\, documents\, and maps that show how things have changed over time. After the activity\, children can meet up with adults attending the lecture to enjoy a short hike in search of evidence of human impact on the land.

SUMMARY:Mini Bioblitz Challenge! Pittsburgh vs Sabah\, Malaysia
DESCRIPTION:From Wednesday\, October 16\, to Sunday\, October 20\, iNaturalist users around Carnegie Museums and Powdermill Nature Reserve can compete with students working with museum herpetologist Jen Sheridan on the other side of the world in Sabah\, Malaysia! Any observations made in Allegheny or Westmoreland County October 16 through 20 will count towards Pittsburgh’s totals. Let’s see how many observations we can make and how our biodiversity compares!

SUMMARY:The Chronicles of Junonia: Adventures in Butterfly Biology
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jeffrey M. Marcus\nUniversity of Manitoba \nThe Marcus laboratory studies the genomic origins\, development\, evolution\, and diversification of butterfly and color patterns\, with a particular focus on the buckeye butterflies (genus Junonia). This system is a wonderful model for understanding butterfly biology because it permits the integrated study of phenotypic traits at many levels of organization from genetics and cell biology to ecology and behavior. In this talk\, I will be sharing some of our recent scientific adventures with butterflies\, as we use genomic tools to test hypotheses about how new species are made\, disperse to new habitats (sometimes across enormous distances)\, and adapt to extreme high-elevation environments. The new tools we have developed allow us to use museum specimens to easily and inexpensively expand our geographic sampling far beyond what we could ever collect ourselves. More importantly\, they will help us unleash the hidden riches of natural history collections both for buckeye butterflies and for many other kinds of organisms\, by adding an important 4th dimension (time) to studies of evolution\, population genetics\, conservation biology\, and for documenting organismal responses to climate change.

SUMMARY:Power Beyond Extraction: A Buried History
DESCRIPTION:6–6:30 p.m. Live performance of old miners’ movement songs from Appalachia by Joe Uehlein. \n6:30–8:30 p.m. Panel discussion \nThe history of Appalachia is tightly bound to the history of coal\, and the material and sentimental attachments to this history presents a predicament for the environmental movement. On one hand\, the history of coal is a history of exploitation of both land and labor. On the other\, it is the history of the struggle of workers to organize for dignified work\, fair pay\, and safe working conditions. How should the environmental movement relate to workers whose livelihoods are tied to fossil fuel extraction? One answer has emerged with the concept of a just transition\, which holds that in the transition to clean energy\, no worker will be left behind. What can be learned from the buried history of labor militancy borne inside the mine? By approaching the history of coal as a history of labor\, this panel asks how the long struggle for work with dignity can inform a just transition. \nSpeakers\nShaun Slifer\, Creative Director\, West Virginia Mine Wars Museum\nKipp Dawson\, former coal miner\, union member\, teacher\nJoe Uehlein\, Founding President\, Labor Network for Sustainability\nVeronica Coptis\, Executive Director\, Center for Coalfield Justice \nThis event is presented as part of “Power Beyond Extraction”\, a programming series hosted at Pittsburgh-area museums on the occasion of the Shale Insight Conference\, an annual convening of oil/gas industry executives. The event series is curated and organized by The Natural History Museum\, a traveling\, pop-up museum founded by the art collective Not An Alternative in 2014. An ongoing art intervention\, The Natural History Museum has a mission to unleash the power of museums as agents of change. \nThe event will begin with labor leader and professional musician Joe Uehlein playing a selection of coal mining songs that “speak to the dangers of working underground\, the reverence miners have for the mountains they love and call their home\, and how miners live a painful contradiction where the economy that supports their families also destroys the earth. The music will be engaging\, with plenty of upbeat and fight back themes.”
