Extractions: K-16 teachers, graduate students, and scientists: Please join us for an exciting and diverse series of workshops (below) for educators at all grade levels. Plan to preregister to ensure your spot in the session of your choice. Meeting registration is required in addition to the course fee ($40 registration for K-12 professionals or for weekend-only workshop participation). Sign up for the Teachers Graduate-level recertification credits from the Colorado School of Mines or the University of Colorado will be offered to participants in the workshops for an additional fee and a written assignment. Credit information will be available at the workshops. Look for the Share-a-thon in the Geoscience Education Division and Education Committee booths, #251-253, in the Exhibit Hall . If you would like to participate, please contact Julie Sexton Sun., Oct. 27, 1:30-4:30 p.m. Cosponsored by National Association of Geoscience Teachers and Tasa Graphics, Inc. During this active hands-on and inquiry-based workshop, we will explore evidence for the structure of lithospheric plates and investigate seafloor spreading. Maps and models (including the Plate Tectonics 3-D Puzzle) will be used throughout the session. Participants will receive a seafloor map poster and copies of the activities.

Untitled Document teaching interests and activities. I teach courses in organismal biology at several My research interests are in vertebrate morphology, paleontology, http://www.wellesley.edu/Biology/Faculty/emily.html
Extractions: Emily A. Buchholtz Professor of Biological Sciences SC 560, SC 333 ebuchholtz@wellesley.edu Teaching interests and activities I teach courses in organismal biology at several levels of the curriculum. These include introductory Organismal Biology (BISC 111), Comparative Vertebrate Physiology / Anatomy (BISC 203), Evolution (BISC 202) and an evolution seminar (BISC 305) entitled A Brief History of Life. I have also taught in multidisciplinary programs (Cluster in 1991-1992, INCIPIT in 1995-1996 and 1996-1997) and in the Geology Department. Research interests and activities My research interests are in vertebrate morphology, paleontology, and evolution. I am particularly interested in the evolution of the vertebral column, and in the way in which the serially homologous vertebrae have been subject to meristic, homeotic, and homologous changes. Such evolutionary changes are particularly dramatic when the axial skeleton is reorganized in taxa that are undergoing major environmental shifts. I have concentrated on three vertebrate lineages undergoing secondary invasion of marine environments: ichthyosaurs, whales, and seacows. I document variations in column morphology to predict mode of locomotion and to trace the evolutionary history of the marine invasion. The image on the right shows anterior caudal vertebrae of a juvenile Early Pliocene sea cow
Paleontology In The 21st Century: The Image Of Paleontology The outreach activities we suggest are variants of those used by museums and The aim is to teach all paleontologists how to communicate with the media http://www.nhm.ac.uk/hosted_sites/paleonet/paleo21/rr/image.html
Extractions: Judy Scotchmoor , Museum Relations, Museum of Paleontology, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720-4780 USA SUMMARY All paleontologists must work individually and in concert to improve the public image of paleontology, using as many outreach avenues as possible. We make four recommendations here to enhance and coordinate the efforts of individuals and societies, while providing a focal point for media interaction and capitalizing on available technology. Action on all but one of the recommendations requires champions from within the discipline. To echo an old military recruiting slogan: your science needs you.
