SUMMARY:2026 Park Science Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:2026 Park Science Colloquium \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis annual symposium on March 5\, 2026 showcased the research happening in and around the Great Smoky Mountains. Topics are wide-ranging\, from weather and climate to zoology\, botany\, geology\, conservation\, and more!  \n\n\n\nStay tuned for details for the 2027 Park Science Colloquium!  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2026 Park Science Colloquium Playlist on YouTube\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSchedule\n\n\n\n2026 Colloquium program v1.4Download\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCheck out talks from previous years\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInformation for presenters\n\n\n\nConference format: The format for this year’s Colloquium will be a little different than in recent years. We’re attempting to make this a hybrid event so folks can tune in remotely through Zoom or attend the event at Arrowmont. Our whole audience–in person or remote–will be able to see and hear presentations in the room at Arrowmont as well as talks given remotely via Zoom. As usual\, the entire audience will be able to ask questions after each presentation (time permitting) and we will help field those questions. This\, at least\, is the smooth and seamless format we’re aiming for… We’ll try to work out the kinks ahead of time! \n\n\n\nIn-person presenters: We ask that folks presenting live at Arrowmont either email your presentation slides to Will (will@dlia.org) ahead of time or bring it on a flash drive to copy over to our on-site laptop. You’ll have the standard setup: a podium with microphone with projected slides. \n\n\n\nRemote presenters: Speakers presenting remotely will can simply tune in using the custom Zoom link you’ll receive before the event and share your screen as you present (as in recent years of the colloquium). \n\n\n\nSpeakers do not need to register for the event\, but will instead automatically be registered via the Zoom Webinar platform. Every presenter (remote or in-person) will get an email with a Zoom link\, which in-person folks can disregard. If something comes up and you need to attend remotely instead of in-person\, please notify Will and proceed to use your Zoom link to tune in. Note: the Webinar platform refers to presenters as “panelists” and the Zoom email you receive will refer to you as a panelist. \n\n\n\nTime slots: Presentation slots will be around 20 minutes (including time for questions). We will send you a finalized schedule close to the event with your exact timeslot. \n\n\n\nPresentation format: Remote presenters can have slide decks in any format (speakers will share their screen via Zoom)\, however we recommend PowerPoint\, PDF\, Google Slides or Keynote in wide-format (16:9). PDF is preferred for in-person presenters\, though PowerPoint or Google Slides will also work. \n\n\n\nKnow your audience: 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. \n\n\n\nRecording presentations: We plan to record presentations and upload them publicly to our YouTube channel as we’ve done in recent years. Please let Will know if you DO NOT wish for your presentation to be published to YouTube. \n\n\n\nWelcome NEON!\n\n\n\nRepresentatives from the NSF-funded National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) will be on site to talk about the treasure trove of continental-scale\, open data available from sites across the US\, including Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

SUMMARY:Conservation on Tap
DESCRIPTION:Conservation on Tap Wednesday\, March 18 at 7 p.m.Schulz Bräu Brewing CompanyFree event! \n\n\n\n“No Place Like Home: Nesting Needs of Native Bees”   \n\n\n\nDid you know that there are over 400 species of native bees in the state of TN?  \n\n\n\nJoin us for this month’s talk by Dr. Laura Russo\, Associate Professor from University of TN and pollinator ecology expert as she explores the different nesting life histories of native bees\, including what we do and don’t know about how to supplement their nesting habitat.  \n\n\n\nNative bees are quiet powerhouses of our ecosystems\, yet many struggle to find safe places to nest\, largely due to the drastic decline of natural habitats. Learn how different materials\, designs\, and placements influence bee success\, what we’ve learned works and doesn’t work that landowners\, gardeners\, and communities can create better nesting opportunities to help native pollinators thrive.
