[Nhcoll-l] WeDigBio celebrates its 5th anniversary!

[Austin]

Consider supercharging your biodiversity collection's education and outreach activities this October 17–20 with WeDigBio 2019!  

The support team will be hosting a Q&A tomorrow (Wed, Sept 25) from 2–3 Eastern (EDT) at https://idigbio.adobeconnect.com/wedigbio <https://idigbio.adobeconnect.com/wedigbio> to address any questions that you might have. If you are unable to make that, but questions remain after reading through the content at wedigbio.org <http://wedigbio.org/>, send them to wedigbio at gmail.com <mailto:wedigbio at gmail.com>.

If you are teaching this semester, consider adding WeDigBio activities to your syllabus. Personally, I’ve had a lot of success doing the activities posted at https://wedigbio.org/content/educational-exercises <https://wedigbio.org/content/educational-exercises> in my Field Botany class.  The students transcribe 30 professionally done labels then reflect on what about the formatting and content makes the info maximally useful (or less so) for research.  Then, they start on their own collections, making their own labels.  

WeDigBio coordinators are currently soliciting comments on the draft WeDigBio Strategic Plan (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gNv-L7yKvKiqUSASCPo1g7FWk6Z0CgTZ/view?ths=true <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gNv-L7yKvKiqUSASCPo1g7FWk6Z0CgTZ/view?ths=true>).  Please consider providing feedback to wedigbio at gmail.com <mailto:wedigbio at gmail.com>.

Register your event by Oct 1 to receive WeDigBio stickers and tattoos for your participants.  You can do this at https://wedigbio.org/content/signup-onsite-event-hosts <https://wedigbio.org/content/signup-onsite-event-hosts>.

Thanks!
