This year’s colloquium will be a virtual event\, taking place over Zoom. Learn about the science happening in Great Smoky Mountains National Park from the local and regional researchers that are making it happen! Registration is free and open to the public. \n\n\n\nTiming: Thursday\, March 4\, 2021 from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm \n\n\n\nLocation: virtual via Zoom \n\n\n\nRegistration: To view the colloquium on March 4th\, please register (button below) and you will receive a Zoom link via email.

Note: due to time constraints\, we may not be able to fit all submitted talks. \n\n\n\nSubmitting a presentation: To submit your work for consideration in the Colloquium\, please email your tentative title and presenter to Paul Super (Paul_Super@nps.gov) by December 17\, 2020. Submitters will be notified soon after as to their acceptance in the Colloquium. Accepted presenters will be asked to submit an abstract (250 words max)\, as well as the final talk title\, and names and affiliations of the presenter and co-authors\, to Paul Super (paul_super@nps.gov) by February 5\, 2021. \n\n\n\nImportant dates\n\n\n\nDecember 17\, 2020 – deadline to indicate intent to present. Send tentative title and presenter name to Paul Super (Paul_Super@nps.gov)February 5\, 2021 – deadline to submit abstract\, final title\, and presenter/co-author names and affiliations to Paul SuperWeek of February 8\, 2021 – presenters will receive a Zoom Webinar invitation via email; meeting registration will be available here for all attendees\n\n\n\nHelpful information\n\n\n\nConference format: The 2021 Colloquium will be held virtually via Zoom’s Webinar platform. Presenters will be set as “panelists” on the Webinar\, meaning that they can do most of the normal functions of a Zoom Meeting (share video\, audio\, and screen). FYI\, the audience will be able to ask questions but only during special Q&A sessions and will be muted with video off otherwise. We’ll send presenters more information about what to expect closer to the colloquium. \n\n\n\nTime slots: Presentation slots will be 20 minutes (including time for questions). We will send you a finalized schedule close to the event and will provide more details about the Q&A after each talk. \n\n\n\nPresentation format: Slide decks can be in any format (speakers will share their screen via Zoom)\, however we recommend PowerPoint\, PDF\, Google Slides or Keynote in wide-format (16:9). \n\n\n\nPresentation content: Please note that many in the audience will have advanced degrees\, but few will have advanced degrees in your topic\, so plan to provide a bit of explanation of technical jargon and stay away from acronyms.

SUMMARY:iScience Workshop for Teachers
DESCRIPTION:iScience Workshop for Teachers \n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a free virtual workshop to learn about our iScience biodiversity program for middle schools. This workshop is open to all educators although iScience is specifically geared toward grades 5-8. It will follow the Science Colloquium (also free) and we encourage participants to attend both events. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for Zoom link\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the workshop\n\n\n\nIn this virtual workshop you will learn how to increase students’ awareness and appreciation for the incredible biodiversity around us through the iScience program. We’ll learn about iScience\, DLiA’s schoolyard biodiversity program in cooperation with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) for grades 5th-8th. This program uses the All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (ATBI) model\, bringing ATBIs to schoolyards within the TVA Program Area. We’ll also explore how to use the iNaturalist app into both in-person and virtual classroom settings. In the program\, students use iNaturalist to conduct ATBIs on their school grounds\, acting as citizen scientists and collecting real scientific data about their local biodiversity.  \n\n\n\nWho can attend?\n\n\n\nThe workshop is open to anyone including teachers\, other educators\, and parents but will be aimed toward those educating 5th to 8th graders. \n\n\n\nLocation and registration\n\n\n\nThe virtual workshop will take place on Zoom on Thursday\, March 4th from 3:00 to 5:00 PM ET. Register below to receive a Zoom link. \n\n\n\n\nRegister for Zoom link\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBefore the workshop\n\n\n\nBefore the workshop\, please download iNaturalist on your Apple or Android device and follow instructions in the app to create an account. Feel free to explore the app beforehand and bring your questions about it to the workshop. \n\n\n\nJoin the Science Colloquium\n\n\n\nWe encourage participants to join the Great Smoky Mountains National Park Science Colloquium\, a series of virtual presentations from scientists working in the Smokies. Talks range from biology to meteorology and are geared for a general audience. It will take place the same day (March 4th) from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM ET\, also on Zoom. Learn more and register for that free conference at this page.
