SUMMARY:Moriarty Science Seminar: Academia and Indigenous Communities: Opening the Doors to Collaborative Research and Community-Driven Projects
DESCRIPTION:R.W. Moriarty Science Seminar Presents: “Academia and Indigenous Communities: Opening the Doors to Collaborative Research and Community-Driven Projects”\n\nSpeaker: Jessie Ryker-Crawford\, Institute of American Indian Arts.  \nAn honest assessment of research practices and methodologies often leads to new and innovative strategies that address inclusion and accessibility between researchers and host communities. Collaborative research projects\, in particular\, allow for a point of entry for ongoing foundational building and networking between institutions and host community organizations—resulting in the long-lasting relationships that are so key to deep research.  \nThis presentation will explore how initial contacts can be made\, facilitating co-advisory groups that can formulate effective and meaningful research projects for all involved\, soliciting community engagement\, and the dissemination of research knowledge and material to a wider community audience.  \nStories of events – also known as case studies – will play heavily in the sharing of insights\, pitfalls\, time-to-stand-up-brush-it-off-and-continue instances\, and glorious successes. \nThis event will take place on Indigenous People’s Day\, Monday\, October 9\,2023 at Noon in person at Earth Theater. \nClick here to download the program. \nSeminar 159 \n.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: a seed a deer a seed
DESCRIPTION:A seed a deer a seed (2023) is a short film by Marianne Hoffmeister Castro that examines the conservation efforts at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center (Austin\, TX). The film threads together stories and modalities of care and management of local ecosystems while bringing forth the alliances and challenges between plant\, animal and human communities. What are the ecological alliances that need to be sustained in time? How long can the land management efforts continue to preserve balance on the local ecosystems? Who decides who needs to keep on living or who needs to be eradicated? By formulating these questions throughout the film\, a seed a deer a seed becomes a meeting place to reflect on the human impact on managed landscapes but also on the entanglements with vegetal lives and nonhuman animals as agents in these conservation efforts. \nThe screening will be followed by a conversation with the filmmaker and Rachel Reeb\, Postdoctoral Fellow at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. \nTree News is a newsletter and event series produced by artists Erin Mallea and Paper Buck (Pittsburgh & Philadelphia\, PA). Tree News focuses on tree and forest stories as entry points into discussions of environmental justice\, ecological orientations in art practice\, and climate change adaptation. Tree News profiles trees\, people\, places and projects to serve as a platform to share resources\, build relationships\, and develop deeper understandings of the world around us. \nTouchstone Cinema is the curatorial project of moving-image artists Inbar Hagai & Rebecca Shapass. The ongoing screening series is dedicated to facilitating discourse around artworks that challenge and push the cinematic form. \n\nEvent Details\nThis event is taking place at Carnegie Museum of Natural History in the Earth Theater. Please see museum staff for a map or assistance in locating the theater. \n\nPresented in partnership with\nTree News & Touchstone Cinema

SUMMARY:Moriarty Science Seminar: Let’s Talk About Climate Change! Outcomes of Climate in Rural Systems Partnership (CRSP)
DESCRIPTION:R.W. Moriarty Science Seminar Presents: “Let’s Talk About Climate Change! Outcomes of Climate in Rural Systems Partnership (CRSP)”\n\nSpeaker: Nicole Heller and Laurie Giarratani\, Carnegie Museum of Natural History.  \nThe Climate and Rural Systems Partnership (CRSP) operates at the intersection of three ideas: 1) museum resources are valuable for understanding environmental change\, 2) museums are underserving rural audiences\, and 3) complex socio-scientific environmental change topics are deeply connected to social decision making in rural communities. Over the last four years\, educators and researchers from Carnegie Museum of Natural History (CMNH) and the University of Pittsburgh have collaborated with community partners in a research practice partnership (RPP) that supports professional networking\, reflection and learning.  The project is centered at two community hubs – one at Powdermill Nature Reserve and the other at Mercer County Conservation District. Our collective work supports socially safe\, science-based discussions about human-caused climate change and is building regional capacity for information exchange across organizations. Through this partnership we seek to improve methodologies and practices for practitioners to effectively address climate change issues with their audiences\, including the museum’s work with its audiences. In this talk\, we will share background theory and practice that motivated this learning science project\, describe how the RPP works\, and discuss some of our findings. We will also talk about how this research is informing our vision for the long-term role of the museum in regional climate empowerment.  \nThis event will take place Monday\, October 23\,2023 at Noon in person in the CMP Board Room and online via Zoom. \nTalks are free to attend in person. Registration is required for online access. \nRegister Now \nClick here to download the program. \nSeminar 160 \n.

SUMMARY:Moriarty Science Seminar: Awareness of the Natural World Through the Lens of Amphibian and Reptile Ecology at Powdermill Nature Reserve
DESCRIPTION:R.W. Moriarty Science Seminar Presents: “Awareness of the Natural World Through the Lens of Amphibian and Reptile Ecology at Powdermill Nature Reserve”\nSpeaker: Dr. Walter E. Meshaka\, State Museum of Pennsylvania.  \nCuriosity brings awareness\, and\, awareness\, in turn\, makes caring possible. A protected resource\, Powdermill Nature Reserve\, in the northern Allegheny Mountains of Pennsylvania\, provides an uncommon opportunity to understand the natural world in short-term and uninterrupted long-term research endeavors otherwise not possible. Presciently\, Dr. M. Graham Netting understood the importance of such a place when he undertook the acquisition of the station in 1956. A beneficiary of this vision\, Dr. Walter E. Meshaka\, Jr. has\, with the kind support of Powdermill staff\, since 2002 undertaken research projects in the ecology of amphibians and reptiles at the station that have involved museum specimens and mark-recapture of individuals. Referring specifically to a few of the 16 published papers to date\, Dr. Meshaka hopes to convey how the combination of traits comprising the Powdermill Nature Reserve can provide and await our awareness of this part of our natural world\, its meaningfulness\, and the importance of its stewardship.    \nThis event will take place Monday\, October 30\, 2023 at Noon in person at Earth Theater. \nClick here to download the program. \nSeminar 161 \n.
