Bring researchers into your classroom and give students a window into the process of scientific inquiry. Join us for an informal chat with researchers studying invasive species in freshwater systems in Ohio, Ontario, Canada and more. Find out who they are, how they got interested in their research, and the scientific questions they are asking.
Hear from Shelley E. Arnott, Professor and Associate Director at Queen’s University Biological Station, Emily Nicholls, a former Undergraduate Researcher and Biology Honors Student at Ashland University on her work at Black Fork Wetlands Environmental Studies Center, and other researchers about their work on invasive species in freshwater systems.
“Live from the Field” events are part of the Organization of Biological Field Stations (OBFS) The Virtual Field (thevirtualfield.org), an international collaboration prompted by the pandemic to give students virtual field experiences in ecosystems all over the world. Events are informal and recorded for asynchronous instructional use. All are welcome. For more information: Dr. Claudia Luke, Sonoma State University, lukec@sonoma.edu
