<p><strong>Time:</strong> 3:00-4:00pm ET<o:p></o:p></p>

<p><strong>Intended Audience</strong>: Undergraduate biology educators and anyone creating resources for undergraduates.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><strong>About</strong>: We all recognize the important roles of collaboration and scholarly communities in modern science. What might it look like to organize teaching scholarship around shared interests and resources? The

Faculty Mentoring Networks. This is part of a broader effort to promote more sophisticated models of faculty development and materials dissemination that emphasize shared ownership, opportunities to make and track scholarly contributions, and implementation-centric
support for changing teaching practices. We are thrilled to begin collaborating with the natural history collections community around opportunities to build active user groups and get more specimen based data into undergraduate classrooms.<o:p></o:p></p>
