Last chance to register for the 11th annual *Biological Sciences
Congressional District Visits* event.

This national initiative, organized by the American Institute of Biological
Sciences (AIBS), is an opportunity for biologists across the country to
meet with their federal or state elected officials to showcase the people,
facilities, and equipment that are required to support and conduct
scientific research. This initiative helps to put a face on science and to
remind lawmakers that science is happening in their district and state.

The Biological Sciences Congressional District Visits event enables
scientists, graduate students, representatives of research facilities, and
people affiliated with scientific collections to meet with their federal or
state elected officials without traveling to Washington, DC. *Participants
may either invite their elected officials to visit their research facility
or can meet at the policymaker's local office.*

AIBS will schedule meetings for participants with lawmakers and will
prepare participants through online training and one-on-one support.
Meetings will take place mid-July through October, depending on the
participant?s schedule.

The event is made possible by AIBS, with the support of event sponsors
American Society of Plant Taxonomists, Botanical Society of America,
Helminthological Society of Washington, Natural Science Collections
Alliance, Organization of Biological Field Stations, Paleontological
Society, Society for Freshwater Science, Society for the Preservation of
Natural History Collections, and Society for the Study of Evolution and
event supporter Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology.

Individual registration for participation is free, but
required. Registration closes on July 10, 2019.  To register, visit
https://www.aibs.org/public-policy/congressional_district_visits.html.

customize the program based on your needs.

Participants will learn:

   - How to translate scientific findings for non-technical audiences
   - How to tell a resonant story that informs decision-makers
   - How to prepare for and participate in a news interview
   - How to prepare for and engage in a meeting with a decision-maker
   - How to protect your scientific reputation
   - How to identify and define the audience you need to reach
   - What decision-makers want to hear from a scientist
   - What reporters are looking for in an interview
   - How to leverage social media
   - How the nation?s science policy is developed and implemented


*We'll come to you*
To bring the course to your institution and for more information please

Sent on behalf of Dr. Dan C. Swan, Interim Director, Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History


The University of Oklahoma recently enacted significant budget cuts and a comprehensive reduction in force initiative that negatively impacts several areas of the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History, including the Collections and Research Division. The Recent Invertebrates Department experienced a major reduction in curatorial and collections management staff. The museum will undertake the steps necessary to insure that the collection in this department is maintained in accordance with professional curatorial standards. We will continue to facilitate research access to this collection through loans and on-site visitation. The museum will work with university administration to develop strategies to return this program to full staffing.

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] Interpreting 'double-edged' materials in Natural History
 Collections- SURVEY
Message-ID: <CAPVvR4TUiWHaYxxT_5rxa-cgeWU3Cta8OOhep6gNhU9kY508zg@mail.gmail.com>

*Posting on behalf of Bonnie Griffin, Assistant Collections Manager at
NHMLA*

Dear all,

Accessory material associated with natural history collections (in the
forms of manuscripts, illustrations and descriptions etc) often document
the interactions between people and nature and can add new or engaging
stories for both the visitors and the media. These resources can be
?double-edged? with some of these accounts containing negative racist
stereotypes or slurs alongside the biological data.  These racist
depictions still have the power to shame, embarrass, frighten and humiliate
and they can be found so appalling the they can turn visitors off or shut
down learning.

Despite many collections having a colonial past, even leading museums do
not have a clear narrative about this aspect of their collections and while
small steps have been taken, there is no clear guide on how to handle this
type of material. While there is a need to share and raise up the
importance of natural history collections, natural scientists cannot do so
for the sole service of the biological agent, at the expense of oppressed
peoples. Worryingly, the careless use of this ?double-edged? material could
not only harm individuals but create a hostile environment which excludes
groups already underrepresented in nature history.

This preliminary study aims to discover the current occurrence, use, and
training levels of those who handle double-edged materials, with the
eventual aim to create a practical guide on how to approach interpreting
double-edged materials in a professional and non-harmful way.  This survey
takes just 3 minutes and we?d appreciate as many responses as possible to
help give us the baseline and to pinpoint training needs for the future.

Your input is very much appreciated,
Thank you!

Please share this information with your members and constituents in Louisiana:

On July 11, the President approved an emergency declaration for Louisiana for Tropical Storm Barry. Under this declaration, the 35 parishes noted below are eligible for Public Assistance, Category B - Emergency Protective Measures.

Emergency Protective Measures (Category B) may include, but are not limited to:

  *   Temporary emergency repair (blue roofs and other work) or stabilization of an eligible facility if it eliminates or lessens an immediate threat
  *   Removal or relocation of collections to prevent damage or loss
  *   Wet vacuuming, damp wiping, or vacuuming with High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) equipment of the interior space
  *   Removal of contaminated gypsum board, plaster (or similar wall finishes), carpet or floor finishes, and ceilings or permanent light fixtures
  *   Cleaning of contaminated heating and ventilation (including ductwork), plumbing, and air conditioning systems or other mechanical equipment

What does this mean for private nonprofit (PNP) cultural institutions and arts organizations in a declared parish?
Document, document, document! Eligible PNPs may be eligible for reimbursement of costs incurred for the activities noted above, as well as others that might be taken to protect your facility and collections. Take pictures, take notes, ask for and save invoices and receipts. Even if your institution is not currently listed, document all activities undertaken; that information will be helpful if you need to file an insurance claim.

What else should you do?

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] Question about large pelt storage
Message-ID: <ae98290c6dda4220bdb4c01af3ae377e@E3PMBX09.idir.BCGOV>

After a fur vault humidity problem, I am wondering what is the value of intact pelts of large mammals

Researchers take hair samples to examine stable isotopes to evaluate ecology, or snips of skin for DNA, but no one has needed an intact pelt for study. Others have taken 10-20 hairs for scanning electron microscopy to compare to stomach or scat samples. The closest we came was when Ministry of Transport needed to get photos for a Road-Kill ID guide, but the entire pelt was not needed.

Wondering if we should only remove square swatches from future specimens, dry the skin/hair swatches (no chemicals), then store them in large  ziplock bags (with silica gel to control moisture). These bags could be stored on shelves in Durphy Boxes.

It also is inconvenient to tan hides and expensive. Perhaps smaller swatches would be the answer - better for storage, easier to prepare in house and not needing a dedicated cold room.

Cheers and thanks for your thoughts,
Gavin

Whole pelts/hides are extremely useful to wildlife forensic scientists. We
have a large collection of hides/pelts that we use on a daily basis to help
identify similar items submitted as forensic evidence in criminal
investigations involving the illegal wildlife trade.

The Wildlife Trafficking Working Group of ICOM NATHIST (International
Council of Museums, Committee for Museums and Collections of Natural
History) has produced a white paper outlining a framework for the role of
museum collections in combating the global crisis of wildlife trafficking:

https://icomnathisttraffic.files.wordpress.com/2016/10/wildlife-trafficking-white-paper-oct-4-2016-final1.pdf


If you're looking to divest yourself of your pelt collection at the Royal
BC Museum, consider reaching out to CITES enforcement officials within
Environment Canada. They may be able to use the materials for training,
education, and enforcement purposes. Many wildlife enforcement
organizations now also use canine units to locate illegal wildlife products
in international transit. Such museum items could be used to train the dogs.

Increasingly, museum collections have the potential to serve as critical
resources to applied scientists and enforcement officials combating the
illegal wildlife trade. I encourage curators to consider these applied uses
when evaluating the role and significance of collections in their care.

Sincerely,

 pressings collection
Message-ID: <DM6PR05MB43294E18AECF05529205C69185CE0@DM6PR05MB4329.namprd05.prod.outlook.com>

Greetings!


I work for Urbana University's library in Urbana, Ohio. We are applying for a grant to receive funds to preserve a collection of plant pressings ranging from the late 1800s to the 1980s. The grant requires that we consult a conservator to evaluate the preservation and treatment needs of this collection, and then report cost estimates of treatment services and materials needed for long-term preservation and storage of the collection.


Is anyone local to the Ohio area available to visit our library to evaluate and report on our collection? If you're not located locally, we are open to virtual meetings as well, if that is something you'd be willing to do. We are working on bit of a tight deadline as the grant is due on August 1, 2019.


Please respond to hannah.goodrick at franklin.edu if you are interested or have any questions.


Thank you,

Hannah Goodrick

Social Relevance: Environmental Sustainability in Museums course begins August 5 on MuseumStudy.com Any museum can contribute to improving conditions in its own neighborhood, city, country and the world. Together these efforts build capacity for continued change, and they build greater positive impact.

The public discussion of the environment and climate change is an important opportunity for museums to connect more deeply with their communities. It is also an opportunity to protect and strengthen their institutions. Join Instructor Sarah Sutton author of Environmental Sustainability at Historic Sites and Museums, The Green Nonprofit, and Co-author of The Green Museum for this course which will be a survey of the practical aspects of interpretation and public programming, operational changes, building construction, and community engagement in service to the message of how changes in our museum work can deepen museums' connections to communities while strengthening mission fulfillment.

Hello all!!

The Zion museum serves as a multi-park repository for Zion National Park,
Bryce Canyon National Park, and Cedar Breaks National Monument. In 2018,
our annual inventory caught a series of 50 missing natural history
specimens that span multiple museum accessions/collections. This includes
11 biology specimens and 39 paleontology specimens. They have been missing
since 2005. There are no leads as to who may have borrowed them or we sent
them to for identification. Since this is a rather large group of
specimens, and not just a few - it seems like they must have been sent out.

If anyone happens to know where these might have ended up, we would love to
hear from you as we move forward in the search for these specimens. Thank
you in advance! Please see the attached spreadsheet for more information.

Thank you.

responding to disasters impacting collections. We welcome case studies and
encourage joint presentations by conservators, collections care
professionals, AND health & safety professionals!

*	Risks posed by conservation treatments and safe work policies for
conservation laboratories, 
*	Preparedness and emergency response in collections.

 

Presenters have 2 submission options:

1.	A podium presentation of 20 minutes, with 5-10 minutes for
questions. (30 min. max)

Enabling Interdisciplinary and Team Science: A Professional Development
Program from AIBS

Reports abound from professional societies, the Academies, government
agencies, and researchers calling attention to the fact that science is
increasingly an interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, inter-institutional,
and international endeavor. In short, science has become a ?team sport.?

There is a real and present need to better prepare scientists for success
in this new collaborative environment. The American Institute of Biological
Sciences (AIBS) is responding to this call with a new program for
scientists, educators, and individuals who work with or participate in
scientific teams.

Team science is increasingly common in 21st century biological, life, and
environmental sciences. Collaboration is no longer limited to sharing ideas
with the biologist in the lab next door. The questions confronting science
often require teams that may include a mix of computer and information
scientists, physical and social scientists, mathematicians, ethicists,
policy and management experts, as well as community stakeholders and
citizen scientists. Adding to this complexity, teams span programs within
organizations, cross organization boundaries to form institutional
consortia, and often include international partners.

This intensive, two-day, interactive, professional development course was
designed by scientists and experts on collaboration and teamwork to provide
participants with the knowledge and skills required to become productive
and effective members of scientific teams. From its first offering the
course has evolved to include a greater focus on team planning and
teamwork, and less time allocated to university administration of
interdisciplinary teams.

Nothing teaches collaboration like practicing collaboration. This is not a
course that asks you to learn in isolation. It is a microcosm of scientific
collaboration, with extensive hands-on learning as part of a scientific
team, with scientific case studies and examples.

This course is designed for anyone involved in collaborative scientific
endeavors. Team leaders will find the course especially helpful. Because
participants will work on ?real-world? team science concerns, we encourage
multiple members of a team to attend together. We can also customize the
course and bring it to your university, department, lab, or research team.
This course provides the right foundation from which your team can
successfully accomplish your goals.

Participants will develop and hone the skills needed to:

   - Explain interdisciplinary team science and characteristics of
   effective scientific teams
   - Describe how teams work
   - Recognize competencies and characteristics of effective team leadership
   - Create effective teams and team culture
   - Develop a shared vision, mission, plan, and key performance indicators
   for a scientific team
   - Identify and assess the right mix of competencies and people needed
   for a scientific team
   - Use team tools and processes such as quality improvement cycle and
   knowledge mapping
   - Improve team communication and trust


*We'll come to you*
The course is periodically offered in Washington, DC, but we can also bring
the course to your institution. We are able to offer a substantial discount
per person from the DC workshop rate. Please contact Robert Gropp at
rgropp at aibs.org or 202-340-4281 for more information.

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] =?utf-8?q?Alaska=E2=80=99s_Governor_Wipes_out_Univers?=

Message-ID: <CAOZ738wKFL7OGz8vTEhwDifnTD4zuvzN947TVtk_k08JY=-_tw@mail.gmail.com>

 URGENT: On Friday afternoon we learned that governor Dunleavy has proposed
to *completely* cut the state appropriation to the museum and to all of the
university?s annual investments in research. (A copy is here:
https://bit.ly/2SHnJpP) We?re asking our many supporters to email the
University of Alaska Board of Regents *now* at ua-bor at alaska.edu urging
them to reject this proposal when they meet in emergency session to
consider it on Tuesday. This single email address goes to the university
president, too: ua-bor at alaska.edu They declared financial exigency at last
week?s meeting due to the governor?s line-item veto budget cut to the
university of a staggering 41% ? on top of five years of cumulative budget
cuts we?ve already undergone. In a second step, we?re hoping you will email
support for the university to Alaska?s legislators, too, as they try to
return most of the governor?s cuts to the university through a supplemental
spending bill. Personally, I am sending my comments to both at the same
time (instructions below).

As you know, education and research are integrally tied together at a
modern university. The vast majority of UA faculty have a combined
teaching-research-service appointment. Training the next generation?s
workforce requires hands-on experience with research. It?s how we teach
students to creatively and intelligently solve real-world problems. It?s
how we develop new knowledge to make the world better for all of us.

The University of Alaska Museum of the North has world-class collections in
many disciplines, documenting and safeguarding Alaska?s natural and
cultural history and making it available to students and researchers from
Alaska and worldwide. At the museum we would not be able to function
without our state appropriation, which is spent on curation and collections
management to fulfill our legal obligations as a collections repository. We
also do a lot of student training and, yes, some research, too. We are a
very lean, highly functional unit with partnerships in collections,
education, research, and exhibits throughout Alaska and the world. And no,
we can?t recover this cut through increasing fees, as the governor has
proposed (they did zero research on this). We already recover a lot, and
we?ve tweaked that pretty hard during the past five years of budget cuts.

The economic argument for rejecting these cuts is powerful, too. For every
dollar the University of Alaska Fairbanks puts into research, we get back
3-6 dollars (depending on unit), mostly from federal grants. But it?s a
partnership. If we pull out, those grants won?t come here. They will go to
faculty and students in other states. So the money the state spends on
university research is well spent for the excellent training it gives our
students and the knowledge it develops, *and* it is a superb direct
investment in the state?s economy. Here at UAF, the state?s only
PhD-granting institution, $19 million in state research spending each year
is turned into about $132 million. So cutting UAF research will have an
outsized economic impact in Alaska?s Interior, now and long into the future
(it takes decades to build this kind of expertise and competitiveness for
federal funding).

We do not understand why the governor is doing this grave damage to the
university and to the state when he promised otherwise before being elected
(Dunleavy?s lies: https://bit.ly/2Ysw02U). It is ideological, and it is
extreme. And make no mistake?it is a choice he has made; we are not in a
fiscal emergency. The legislature passed a balanced budget that *still*
gave away free money to Alaska citizens (the permanent fund dividend, or
PFD). This entitlement program and the governor?s ideology are at the
center of the problems we find ourselves in. A petition to recall the
governor starts later this week (URLs at bottom).

The majority of Alaskans and his own party oppose his outrageous budget
cuts, but he is the most powerful governor in the country, with line-item
veto authority and a 75% super-supermajority required to override those
vetoes. His mismanagement of the state thus far has us in chaos. (See some
of the details here and here: https://bit.ly/2Y9iDbV https://bit.ly/2SJlKRT).
His insertion into the regents? job of managing the university is
unprecedented, as are these levels of budget cuts.

I hope you will write to the board of regents and urge them to reject this
proposal to cut research and the museum from the university?s future. We
are in a state of financial exigency, so things are moving very fast.
ua-bor at alaska.edu I also hope you will write our legislators, but emailing
the board of regents is the first and most time-sensitive step. The
legislators are in Juneau working to pass a supplemental spending bill that
restores most of the governor?s line-item vetoes. That will also be subject
to more line-item vetoes, and we will almost certainly need your support,
especially you Alaskans, to tell our legislators how important the
university and museum are to the state. I am sending them all (board and
legislators) the same message right now. Instructions for contacting the
legislature are also given below.

Alaskans?please do write to our legislators and consider signing the recall
petition, which begins on 1 August (more on both below).

Thanks for your support!

To email Alaska?s legislators, go to this page
https://uaf.edu/chancellor/initiatives-and-policies/advocacy/akleg.php ,
open the bar for each respective branch (House, Senate), and there is one
button to email all the members of each branch. The easiest way I?ve found
to use it is to right click on that button, choose ?copy email address?,
and paste that massive email grab into your email?s To: field.
