SUMMARY:Moriarty Science Seminar: Gender in Mineral Names
DESCRIPTION:Gender in Mineral Names: A Record of Past and Ongoing Diversity Challenges in the Earth Sciences\nSpeaker: Chris Emproto\, Carnegie Museum of Natural History\nWhen: Monday\, January 13\, 2025\, 12:00 – 1:00 p.m.\nWhere: Earth Theater at Carnegie Museum of Natural History and online via Zoom\nTickets: This lecture is free. Museum admission is not required.\nLearn about scientific discoveries directly from the experts in the field. Carnegie Museum of Natural History’s scientific research staff and invited speakers discuss their latest findings on numerous scientific topics at the R.W. Moriarty Science Seminar series. \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. \nTalk Abstract\nThere are currently more than 6\,000 unique mineral species recognized by the global mineralogical community. Proposals describing potentially new minerals are submitted to the International Mineralogical Association Commission on New Minerals\, Nomenclature\, and Classification for review and approval. The Commission also votes on the name suggested by the authors. Common ways to name minerals include references to distinct chemical or physical properties\, the location where the mineral was found\, or after a person involved in the discovery or who is prominent in the field of mineralogy. For this reason\, mineral names encode aspects of scientific and cultural history. But can mineral names also tell us about the future? By tracking the demographics of mineral eponyms over time\, Chris Emproto and colleagues were able to see changes in who is represented among mineral names and how eponym demographics have evolved\, with an emphasis on gender. Contrary to expectation\, their results indicated that women’s representation among eponyms has not increased significantly in the last two decades but remains stalled at around 11%. This trend contrasts with educational data that instead show improvements in women’s representation. The results emphasize the ongoing need for more intentional recruitment of underrepresented groups in the Earth sciences.

SUMMARY:Educator Workshop: Using Fossils to Understand Ancient Earth
DESCRIPTION:The new STEELS standards shift away from memorization of facts to productive participation in scientific practice with the goal of deeper understanding. In this workshop\, we’ll work together to model the new standards using fossils and paleontology as an example of how to work through this process. Participants will have time to explore the exhibitions Dinosaurs in Their Time and Benedum Hall of Geology with guidance from museum experts to investigate how the study of fossils helps us understand Ancient Earth. This workshop is a hands-on opportunity to practice the STEELS standards with fellow educators and build out resources to help with the transition. \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\, January 28\, 2025\, 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.\nWhere: Carnegie Museum of Natural History\n\n\n[swcheckout site=”6″ item=”132873″]
