[Nhcoll-l] Labels for Collection

Fri Mar 20 16:39:57 EDT 2020

Dear All,
To reiterate Truth's sentiments (we work together), we concurred after much
discussion that labels take up very little space. It is not like deciding
whether to keep a manky mounted African lion, they are labels that could
lay flat in the collections cabinets and contain valuable historical data,
there is no real reason to discard them. In time, you might find that your
institution might have discarded a particularly historically valuable
specimen, the physical specimen might be gone but you would still have
valuable historical data, at no cost to your collections budget. Have you
read The Feather Thief? It is a great.book and an example of many
historically valuable specimens being reduced to their tag.

Best

Scott

>>
>>
>>

>>
>>
>>
>> Indiana University Collections | Contagious Outbreak Action Plan
>>
>>
>>
>> Main strategies:
>>
>> 1.      Keeping our sites clean and sanitized
>> 2.      Keeping staff healthy
>> 3.      Adjusting for financial impacts
>>
>>
>>
>> Strategy details, followed by task chart below.
>>
>>
>>
>> Keeping sites clean and sanitized:
>>
>> 1.      Create plan to sanitize surfaces that people touch often and more
>> frequently:
>>
>> a.      Sanitize front desks and its computers and phones
>> b.      Sanitize door handles, handrails, elevator buttons, drinking
>> fountains
>> c.      Sanitize touch screens and interactives
>> d.      Sanitize bathrooms (handles, sinks and counters, faucets, stall
>> door latches, hand driers)
>> e.      Keep soap, sanitizer, and paper towels stocked
>> f.      Communicate plan to staff
>>
>> 2.      Purchase increased supplies for keeping sites cleaner
>>
>> a.      Add more hand sanitizer stations (outside exhibits, at front
>> desks)
>> b.      Explore adding foot-opening hardware to bottom of doors
>> c.      Add paper towel dispensers and paper towels in all bathrooms (not
>> just stacks of paper towels)
>>
>> 3.      Create and add detailed handwashing signs to all bathrooms (4
>> Admin, 5 Tredegar museum, 2 Clay VC, 2 house, 4 APX)
>>
>> i.      Something with details about using soap, scrubbing all parts of
>> the hand, for 20 seconds, drying completely.
>>
>>
>>
>> Keeping staff healthy:
>>
>> 1.      Encourage staff to stay home if feeling ill
>>
>> a.      Educating staff on virus, symptoms, and its spread by sharing
>> simple resources via email
>>
>> i.       <https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/about/index.html>
>> CDC: especially their  <
>> https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/faq.html> FAQs,  <
>> https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/about/prevention-treatment.html>
>> prevention, and  <
>> https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/about/symptoms.html> symptoms.
>>
>> b.      Explicitly encouraging the importance of all staff to stay home
>> if sick, including opportunities for remote work. If working from home,
>> staff should discuss his with their supervisor in advance and then check in
>> with them daily.
>> c.      Reminding part-time staff of PTO balances to use if they are sick
>> or they need to care for a sick family member
>>
>> i.      Question to Answer: After part-time staff exhaust their PTO and
>> still need to stay home due to COVID-19, will the museum continue to pay
>> them for their scheduled shifts until the epidemic around us is over?
>> ii.     Question to answer: Will part-time staff who have not yet accrued
>> PTO and need to stay home due to COVID-19 (their own illness or care of a
>> sick family member) be paid for scheduled shifts like PTO?
>>
>>
>>
>> Adjusting for financial impacts:
>>
>> 1.      Monitoring staff cost impact on budget (ex: PTO)
>> 2.      Monitoring expenses for initial supplies (ex: sanitizing cleaner,
>> bathroom signs, etc.)

>> Dear Friends,
>>
>> In a proactive measure to protect against the spread of COVID-19, the
>> Academy of Natural Sciences, the Barnes Foundation, The Franklin Institute
>> and the Philadelphia Museum of Art have made the joint decision to
>> temporarily discontinue public admissions to our exhibit halls and suspend
>> public programming and events for a minimum of two weeks, effective
>> immediately. The Academy will remain closed to the public through March 31.
>> At that time we will reassess the situation and determine steps for moving
>> forward safely and responsibly.
>>
>> While reflecting on the data that has been released by public health
>> authorities in recent days and weeks, the Academy in particular is
>> cognizant of our role as a leader in the scientific community. Science
>> matters, and we are committed to making decisions based on data as we move
>> forward.
>>
>> While there are no known cases of COVID-19 in the museum at this time, we
>> are committed to doing everything we can to protect the health of those who
>> utilize the museum space. As such, we will be cancelling or postponing all
>> public programming through April 30.
>>
>> We will continue to communicate about our opening or closing status in
>> the coming days and weeks. For the most up-to-date information, as well as
>> for local resources on COVID-19, please visit our website<

>> AIBS Urges Congress to Include Scientific Societies in COVID-19 Economic
>> Measures
>>
>> The American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS) has asked
>> congressional leaders to include scientific societies and organizations in
>> economic measures crafted to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.
>>
>> AIBS noted, in part: ?As Congress considers the economic costs of
>> COVID-19, we request that you include in any economic recovery and
>> resilience measures non-profit scientific societies and organizations.
>> Professional societies and research institutions are suffering significant
>> economic impacts from cancelling scientific conferences, workshops, and
>> other meetings. For many professional associations/scientific societies,
>> annual meetings, regional and topical conferences are one of the primary
>> ways that scientists share information. These meetings are also one of the
>> core revenue sources that sustain the work of these non-profit
>> organizations. Scientific societies have been at the forefront of the
>> public response to COVID-19. Often, cancelling programs to reduce exposure
>> risks prior to any request or directive from government and public health
>> officials.?

>> In related news, the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE)
>> has written to Mr. Larry Kudlow, Director of the White House National
>> Economic Council urging that tax-exempt associations suffering from event
>> cancellations and reduced meetings attendance be considered in any federal
>> aid package.  Additionally, ASAE draws attention to the fact that ?many
>> associations operate similarly to small businesses and are greatly impacted
>> if employees are forced to take sick leave or quarantined as a result of
>> COVID-19 interaction.?  The letter further reads, ?We are aware that the
>> Administration is considering measures for small businesses that may
>> require cash flow assistance amid the outbreak, and ask that tax-exempt
>> entities not be excluded from any temporary aid designed to stem the
>> economic fallout resulting from COVID-19.?  Read ASAE?s letter here:

>> Congress is currently working on what is anticipated to be the first of a
>> series of economic relief packages.
>>
>> AIBS Testimony: Support Increased Funding for Science
>>
>> The American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS) has provided
>> testimony to House and Senate Appropriations Committees regarding fiscal
>> year (FY) 2021 funding for the National Science Foundation and biological
>> research programs within the Smithsonian Institution, the U.S. Geological
>> Survey (USGS), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and the
>> Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
>>
>> AIBS urged Congress to reject the deep cuts proposed in the President?s
>> budget request and to continue its bipartisan tradition of investing in our
>> nation?s scientific capacity.
>>
>> In testimony to the House and Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on
>> Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies, AIBS urged Congress to provide
>> new funding to the Smithsonian Institution with at least $55 million to
>> support scientific and curatorial work within the National Museum of
>> Natural History; provide the USGS with $1.35 billion, with at least $260
>> million for its Ecosystems mission area; restore funding for Science
>> Support in USFWS to the FY 2020 enacted level of $17.3 million; and provide
>> EPA Science and Technology with at least $760 million.
>>
>> As noted in the testimony<
>> https://aibs.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a2886d199362c2554974f78af&id=fb45cba249&e=6708ed45cf>:
>> ?The loss of biological diversity and the concomitant negative implications
>> for human health and well-being are of significant concern. As human
>> population grows and people increasingly come into contact with new
>> environments and species migrating into new habitats, the risk of new
>> diseases, such as zoonotic pandemics, is of growing concern. Biological
>> diversity offers a buffer against the spread of pathogens. Biological
>> diversity contributes to environmental sustainability and increases our
>> resilience to natural disasters. Robust federal investments in scientific
>> research and monitoring that improves our understanding of biological
>> diversity and ecosystem function must be a priority. The agencies funded by
>> this appropriations bill are centrally involved in conducting, supporting,
>> and using this scientific research for public benefit.?
>>
>> AIBS encouraged Congress to provide NSF with at least $9 billion in FY
>> 2021 in written testimony to the House and Senate Appropriations
>> Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies.
>>
>> ?The President?s budget request for FY 2021 proposes a 6.5 percent cut to
>> NSF, including a 7.8 percent reduction of its research activities.  If
>> enacted, this budget will hurt research and undermine the nation?s ability
>> to address national challenges.  Congress provided NSF with $8.278 billion
>> in funding for FY 2020, an increase of 2.5 percent.  This increase allows
>> for critical federal investments in scientific and educational research as
>> well as support for the development of the scientific workforce.  We
>> encourage Congress to continue supporting increased investments in our
>> nation?s scientific capacity,? AIBS testified<
>> https://aibs.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a2886d199362c2554974f78af&id=301d6c7f71&e=6708ed45cf

>> Biden?s COVID-19 Plan Stresses Action on Climate Change
>>
>> Former Vice President and 2020 Presidential Candidate Joe Biden has
>> proposed a new plan to address the new coronavirus disease, COVID-19, and
>> to prepare for future global health threats.  The plan argues that
>> aggressive action on climate change is needed to combat health threats such
>> as infectious diseases.
>>
>> ?The link between climate change and health security is well-documented
>> and will create a growing threat to Americans,? according to Biden?s
>> proposal.  ?A Biden Administration will recommit the United States to the
>> Paris Agreement on day one and lead an effort to get every major country to
>> ramp up the ambition of their domestic climate targets. As President, Biden
>> will fully integrate climate change into our foreign policy and global
>> health security strategies, and prioritize efforts to mitigate disease and
>> migration challenges caused by a warming planet.?
>>
>> The plan cites the National Climate Assessment, a congressionally
>> mandated scientific report prepared every four years by scientists from 13
>> federal agencies, which found that ?climate change threatens human health
>> and well-being in many ways, including impacts from increased extreme
>> weather events, wildfire, decreased air quality, and illnesses transmitted
>> by food, water, and diseases carriers such as mosquitoes and ticks.?
>>
>> It remains to be seen if the pandemic will still be active if Biden is
>> sworn into office in January 2021, but he offered his plan as advice to the
>> Trump administration as well as a look into how his Administration would
>> handle future health threats.
>>
>> ?We should be investing in rebuilding and strengthening the Global Health
>> Security Agenda, which we launched during our administration, specifically
>> to mobilize the world against the threats of new infectious diseases,? said
>> Biden while announcing his plan, reported E&E News.  ?No President can
>> promise to prevent future outbreaks.  But I can promise you this: When I'm
>> President, we will be better prepared, respond better and recover better.
>> We'll lead with science, we'll listen to the experts, we'll heed their
>> advice, we'll build American leadership and rebuild it to really the world
>> and meet global threats we'll likely to face again.?
>>
>> EPA Broadens ?Secret Science? Proposal
>>
>> On March 3, 2020, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released a
>> supplemental addition to the proposed rule ?Strengthening Transparency in
>> Regulatory Science,? also referred to as the ?secret science? rule, that
>> would bar the use of scientific studies in crafting regulations unless the
>> underlying data ?are publicly available in a manner sufficient for
>> independent validation.?
>>
>> According to EPA, this supplemental is not a new rulemaking and rather
>> provides clarifications on certain terms and aspects of the proposed rule,
>> first introduced in 2018 by former EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt.  It was
>> reported<
>> https://aibs.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a2886d199362c2554974f78af&id=3302f1409b&e=6708ed45cf>
>> that EPA was planning to propose this supplemental back in November 2019.
>>
>> ?These additions and clarifications to the proposed rule will ensure that
>> the science supporting the agency's decisions is transparent and available
>> for independent validation while still maintaining protection of
>> confidential and personally identifiable information,? said EPA
>> Administrator Andrew Wheeler.
>>
>> The supplemental would broaden restrictions on the type of scientific
>> studies EPA can use when crafting regulations.  The original proposal
>> applied only to dose-response studies, while the revised plan requires that
>> the agency rely only on studies that make all of their underlying data
>> public.  The supplemental also clarifies that the restrictions proposed
>> under the rulemaking applies not only to the agency?s regulatory decisions
>> but also to ?influential scientific information? disseminated by the
>> agency.  The revisions would also give the EPA Administrator the discretion
>> to consider a study that has not made all its data public.
>>
>> The revised proposal, however, would not apply retroactively to reverse
>> any existing regulations and would only apply to studies ?that are
>> potentially pivotal to EPA?s decisions or influential scientific
>> information that are developed in the future.?
>>
>> According to critics, restrictions in the updated proposal are more
>> far-reaching than the original proposal.  ?It's increasing the damage of
>> the proposed rule,? said Betsy Southerland, former Director of EPA's Office
>> of Science and Technology, according to a report by E&E News.  ?Number 1,
>> it expands the scope of the rule, and number 2, by no means does it
>> demonstrate they have a legal authority to do this rulemaking.?  She added
>> that the draft fails to identify a need.  ?They?re putting in nonscientific
>> criteria to decide what science the agency can use,? said Andrew Rosenberg,
>> Director of the Center for Science and Democracy at the Union of Concerned
>> Scientists, according to a report by the New York Times.  ?Now the most
>> important thing is whether the data is public, not the strength of the
>> scientific evidence.?
>>
>> There will be a 30 day comment period on the supplemental notice of
>> proposed rulemaking after it is published in the Federal Register.  A
>> pre-publication version of the revised proposed rule is available here:

>> New AIBS Report on Biological Sciences in the President's FY 2021 Budget
>>
>> A new report from the American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS)
>> provides an analysis of the President?s fiscal year (FY) 2021 budget
>> request for biological sciences research and education.
>>
>> The report provides an overview and analysis of the budget request for
>> several federal agencies and programs, including the National Science
>> Foundation, National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institute of
>> Standards and Technology, United States Geological Survey, Department of
>> Energy Office of Science, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,
>> and Environmental Protection Agency, among others.
>>
>> Most federal science agencies would receive budget cuts in FY 2021 if the
>> President?s budget is enacted.  Notably, the plan proposes a 7.3 percent
>> cut to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases within
>> NIH.  However, the President?s budget request was released prior to the
>> global spread of COVID-19.  That development is likely to have significant
>> impacts on FY 2021 funding as the government works to respond to this
>> global issue and also to address the significant economic impacts arising
>> from COVID-19.

>> Now Online: Enabling Interdisciplinary and Team Science
>>
>> 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 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.
>>
>> The Enabling Interdisciplinary and Team Science 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.
>>
>> In light of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, the April 27-28, 2020 workshop

>> Dear Colleague,
>>
>> There is a growing recognition of the importance of providing scientists,
>> particularly graduate students and post-doctoral fellows, with
>> professional
>> development training that will expand their career opportunities and
>> potential for professional success.  The American Institute of Biological
>> Sciences (AIBS) is pleased to announce a professional development program
>> that we have developed to help scientists strengthen their written
>> communication
>> skills.
>>
>> This is an important professional development training opportunity.  I
>> hope
>> you will consider sharing this opportunity with your students, staff, and
>> colleagues.
>>
>> Below are more specific details about this online course, including
>> registration information.
>>
>> *Writing for Impact and Influence: An AIBS Professional Development
>> Program*
>>
>> *It is perfectly okay to write garbage?as long as you edit brilliantly. *
>> -C. J. Cherryh
>>
>> The American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS) has heard a common
>> refrain from faculty, scientists, government and private sector
>> executives,
>> and everyone in between: Scientists are losing the ability to communicate
>> effectively in writing. The concern is not just about how well a
>> scientific
>> manuscript is drafted, but also about how routine business and public
>> engagement information are communicated.
>>
>> AIBS is responding by re-offering our professional development program
>> designed to help scientists, including graduate students, hone their
>> written communication
>> skills to increase the impact and influence of their message. This course
>> complements AIBS's highly successful Communications Boot Camp for
>> Scientists, which focuses on oral communication.
>>
>> Writing for Impact and Influence provides practical instruction and
>> hands-on exercises that will improve the participant's general writing
>> proficiency.
>> The program will provide participants with the skills and tools needed to
>> compose scientific press releases, blog posts, emails, and memoranda, with
>> a focus on the reader experience. Each product-oriented session will have
>> an assignment to be completed independently, with feedback from the
>> instructor. The course is interactive, and participants are encouraged to
>> ask questions and exchange ideas with the instructor and other
>> participants.
>>
>> *Who Should Take the Course?*
>>
>>    - Individuals interested in furthering their professional development
>> by
>>    augmenting their writing skills.
>>    - Graduate students and early-career professionals interested in
>>    increasing their marketability to employers.
>>    - Individuals interested in more effectively informing and influencing
>>    segments of the public, supervisors, policymakers, reporters,
>>    organizational leaders, and others.
>>
>> *Topics*
>>
>>    - Press releases and writing for the media
>>    - Blogging and social media campaigns
>>    - E-Correspondence and writing for professional audiences
>>    - One-pagers and writing for stakeholders
>>    - Action/decision memoranda and writing for diverse professional
>>    audiences
>>    - Synthesis
>>    - Participant Requirements
>>    - Internet access, email account, and computer audio and video
>>    capabilities.
>>
>> *Course Structure*
>> The course consists of six 90-minute online modules conducted live and
>> subsequently archived online for participant review. Modules are spaced at
>> weekly intervals to allow time for assignment completion. Live attendance
>> is recommended but not required, and the instructor can be contacted by
>> email at any time during the course.
>>
>> *Assignments*
>> A writing assignment will be given in each of the first five courses.
>> Students will receive timely feedback on their assignments.
>>
>> *Certificate of Completion*
>> Individuals who actively participate in and complete the full course will
>> receive a certificate recognizing that they have completed a nine-hour
>> professional development course on business writing for scientists.
>>
>> *Schedule*
>> The course will begin on Thursday, 9 July 2020. The subsequent course
>> sessions will be held weekly on Thursdays, through 13 August. All live
>> courses will begin at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time. Recorded programs will be
>> available to participants after the live session.
