<p class="MsoPlainText">Course Overview<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">This course is addressed to researchers and technicians who work with complex structures and need to digitize their samples for different reasons, such as digital preservation, geometric morphometrics, biomechanics analyses, etc.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The goal of this course is to explain how you can obtain 3D virtual models from surfaces, using photogrammetry. These techniques and technologies offer the possibility to obtain 3D models of the external morphology of the samples including
colour and texture of a wide size range of specimens with medium – low cost and fast approaches.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">By the end of this course, participants should be able to obtain high-quality digitalization of samples with the most commonly used techniques.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">They will also be able to edit and manipulate the digital models to prepare them for use in typical analytical software.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The main software that you will use during the course: Reality Capture, Agisoft Metashape, GOMinspect and Meshmixer. Temporal licenses will be provided for the course.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Using a combination of lectures, discussions, demonstrations, and readings, this course will teach participants how to better care for and manage all natural history collections (including botany, geosciences, and zoology).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The importance of the collections storage environment is emphasized, as well as the identification and selection of inert materials, testing locally available materials, adapting collections care standards to particular environmental
conditions, and good management through sound policies and collection planning.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Rather than the traditional discipline-based approach, the course teaches collections care based on collection material and preparation type―dry preparations, wet preparations, and documentation (including paper-based and electronic
media).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The course will benefit individuals who already have experience in caring for natural history collections, as well as those who intend to work with natural history collections.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">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. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">This is an important professional development training opportunity. I hope you will consider sharing this opportunity with your students, staff, and colleagues. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">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 increasingly responsible for public engagement and business writing, yet they are rarely given the tools they need to succeed.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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, memoranda, and more, with a focus on the reader experience. Each product-oriented session will have an assignment (deadlines are flexible), 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. Each session is also recorded and shared with all participants to accommodate scheduling conflicts.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:18.0pt">From iDigBio<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are excited to introduce the first professional development opportunity offered by the iDigBio Digitization Academy: Introduction to Biodiversity Specimen Digitization.
<br>
<br>
This free, online course is focused on introducing the creation of digital data about biodiversity specimens to those who are just beginning this activity.
<br>
<br>
The aims of the course are to empower participants with the knowledge and skills to (1) identify and assess relevant facets of information or potential information about specimens, (2) identify and implement common digitization protocols and best practices
related to databasing, digital imaging, and georeferencing, (3) identify downstream uses that are relevant to digitization decisionmaking, (4) explain basic database design and the value of Globally Unique Identifiers, (5) identify the major specimen data
management system options and the major differences among them, and (6) design a digitization project, including quality control and a data management plan that includes data sharing.<br>
<br>
This course is targeted at those already associated with a biodiversity collection, such as student technicians, collections management professionals, or curators. The course will be relevant to a diversity of collection types. Participants do not need to
have prior knowledge of biodiversity informatics or specialized software. <br>
<br>
The course will occur from July 12–15 (Monday–Thursday) between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET (exact times yet to be determined). You can expect to spend three hours per day in synchronous meetings and as much as two additional hours of preparation time per day outside
of class. So this is about a 20-hour time commitment. We expect to cap the course at 20 participants and will make admission decisions based on the relevance of the training to the future of the applicant’s organization and a desire to engage a diversity of
perspectives. The course will be delivered in English. Those interested in participating from outside the US are welcome to apply.<br>
<br>
You may apply to participate in this course at: <a href="https://forms.gle/YsP8awfKBAzksBSk9">
https://forms.gle/YsP8awfKBAzksBSk9</a>. Applications are due by 8 a.m. ET on Monday, June 7. Should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Michael Denslow at
<a href="mailto:michael.denslow@gmail.com">michael.denslow@gmail.com</a>. This course is brought to you by iDigBio (<a href="https://www.idigbio.org">https://www.idigbio.org</a>) and will be taught by Michael Denslow, Erica Krimmel, and Austin Mast.<br>
<br>
Watch for an announcement of a second course offering from the iDigBio Digitization Academy soon. That course will be focused on public engagement in digitization.<br>

<p class="MsoPlainText">An unkempt museum or historic house is not appealing to the visitor nor is it healthy for the staff and collection. In this 4 week online professional development course instructor Gretchen Anderson will lay a foundation as to how to
clean objects and facilities safely. We will explore a variety of subjects, including health and safety for the staff and the objects, cleaning methods for a large variety of collection types common in art & cultural institutions and the importance of documenting
what you do.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">One former participant said, "This class was so helpful! This was such a great resource! For the first time since I started working here, my staff really seems to understand why I ask them to do what we do. It has really been the start
of some great conversations on site and we will 100% use the techniques learned."<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Cleaning and sterilizing the museum is in the news these days. Once we get back in to our museums and historic houses we will need to be extra careful. Please join us for this timely class to look at methods to protect both the collection

<p class="MsoPlainText">Creating Virtual Learning Opportunities in Museums course begins July 5 on MuseumStudy.com Join us for this new course born out of the challenges we all encountered this last year.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Creating Virtual Learning Opportunities in Museums will cover creating both synchronous and asynchronous programs, connecting with teachers, and some technical skills to ensure that you can support teachers and students virtually as
they learn from you and your museum. By the end of the course, participants will have built several different virtual education programs that will be ready to use.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Participants will create at least 3 different virtual museum education programs and learn to use technology tools and build skills to help them develop additional virtual learning opportunities.<o:p></o:p></p>
