The Biodiversity Literacy in Undergraduate Education
<https://www.biodiversityliteracy.com/> (BLUE) Research Coordination
Network is looking at how to define a core set of *biodiversity data
literacy competencies* that could be used to guide recommendations for
improving undergraduate biology training and meeting increasing workforce
demands in both data and biodiversity sciences.

Natural history collections are an important resource in providing
opportunities for undergrads to interact with collections-based
biodiversity data. *We would greatly appreciate getting your perspective
via this anonymous survey
<https://cmich.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2nM7zKDZnMZYB0h>* if you are
in one or more of the following groups:

   - Curators or researchers working with natural history collections
   - Educators who teach and/or supervise undergraduate or graduate
   students in the biological sciences
   - Organismal, ecological, and environmental researchers who generate and
   use large aggregated biodiversity datasets
   - Discipline-based education researchers
   - Data scientists and biodiversity informaticians

The survey should take you approximately 15-25 minutes to complete, and the
deadline has been extended to *next Wednesday, October 16th*. If you wish,
please feel free to share this survey with any other colleagues or lists.

Thank you in advance for your input and efforts,
Erica

researchers working to identify a transferrable set of core biodiversity
data competencies for undergraduates, develop strategies for integrating
these competencies into the introductory biology curriculum, and build
capacity for sustained development and implementation of biodiversity and
data literacy education.*
