6 | 7 - Statistical Methods Series: Movement Ecology
12:00 PM-1:00 PM 02/07/2022 The Ecological Forecasting Initiative and the ESA Statistical Ecology Section are hosting Dr. Théo Michelot for the February call in the Statistical Methods Seminar Series. Théo Michelot – Dr. Michelot is a postdoctoral researcher in statistics at the Centre for Research into Ecological and Environmental Modelling (CREEM) at the University of St. Andrews. Dr. Michelot is developing flexible stochastic differential equation models, and using them as continuous-time models of animal movement and behaviour. Additional research interests include hidden Markov models and applications in ecology and statistical software development.
| 8 - Faces of Outreach
12:00 PM-1:00 PM 02/08/2022 Tuesday, Feb., 8, 2022 from 12:00 – 1:00 pm ET
Hosted by the Conservation Education and Outreach Working Group
Most wildlife professionals recognize that outreach is important, whether for reducing human-wildlife conflicts, sharing the newest science, encouraging wise stewardship of natural resources, or creating opportunities for people to explore and connect with nature. But for the professionals highlighted in this webinar, outreach isn’t just a nice touch at the end of a project – it IS the project! “Faces of Outreach” will share brief overviews from 6 outreach professionals, 2 each from extension, state agencies, and non-profit organizations. Then stick with us for the rest of the year as we take a closer look at the methods each of these professionals use to effectively provide outreach about wildlife and natural resources to a diversity of audiences.
| 9 | 10 - Using Soil Microbes to Improve Fertilizer Efficiency and Soil Health
12:00 PM-1:00 PM 02/10/2022 An American Society of Agronomy and Soil Science Society of America webinar sponsored by Holganix. Date: Thursday, Thursday, February 10, 2022
Time: 12:00 Noon-1:00 PM Eastern/11:00 AM-12:00 Noon Central/10:00-11:00 AM Mountain/9:00-10:00 AM Pacific - Social Justice and Entomology: Climate Change
1:00 PM-2:00 PM 02/10/2022 Climate change impacts both host plants and insects leading to changes in human and animal migration, disease patterns, and food production. Changes such as these often increase inequity among social groups. Whether in the area of vector-borne disease or food production, can entomolgy work to lessen inequity caused by climate change locally and globally? What are the roles and responsibilities of entomologists? Drs. C. Ben Beard and Emily Meineke will provide their insight.
