Apologies for cross-posting



Extending Specimens: Curators in the Classroom sprint to implementation is an effort to bring museum professionals and faculty together to efficiently implement vetted and engaging biodiversity modules for the virtual classroom.



All modules cover core biological content and skills and integrate biodiversity data and expertise from the museum community. In the first week, museum professionals provide the materials, support and expertise for faculty to confidently deliver museum based educational materials to their students.  The second week, museum professionals provide supplemental instruction, guided modules, and open office hours to facilitate implementation. The total time commitment from the faculty participating in the effort is anticipated to be between 1-3 hours for a complete exercise, lecture , and lab experience.



The first working group starts Monday the 30th of March and new groups start weekly after that.



The first topic is Nature’s Flying Machines. We will provide interested faculty with fully vetted online lab experience <https://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fqubeshub.org%2Fqubesresources%2Fpublications%2F1788%2F1&data=02%7C01%7Cjessica.bazeley%40yale.edu%7C5e01084836874451b01008d7d253ec03%7Cdd8cbebb21394df8b4114e3e87abeb5c%7C0%7C1%7C637209130190136212&sdata=VSBWFhOaDT25%2BbSOI6%2BDAE5nA%2Fb5FzbuUu3DDhN6wYc%3D&reserved=0>  with the addition of a mini-lecture from Dr. John Bates (Field Museum) on Birds, Dispersal and Adaptations for Flight. We will provide the materials and support for both the faculty implementing the modules and the student engaging in the educational experience.



Subsequent topics will be Phenology and Climate Change (Dr. Libby Ellwood) and Human Evolution: A Tale of 3 Lice (Dr. Julie Allen).

We welcome participation at all levels from those wishing to assist with development to those looking for a quick resource for the classroom. The link above will address both levels of involvement.



This effort is a collaborative effort with support from Society for the Preservation of Natural History Collections,<https://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fspnhc.org%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cjessica.bazeley%40yale.edu%7C5e01084836874451b01008d7d253ec03%7Cdd8cbebb21394df8b4114e3e87abeb5c%7C0%7C1%7C637209130190141190&sdata=JzIR%2F9z5Ou0iqZ6mUYNP3FfeBjnzta1WGu5DZXrwzdA%3D&reserved=0> Biodiversity Collections Network<https://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbcon.aibs.org%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cjessica.bazeley%40yale.edu%7C5e01084836874451b01008d7d253ec03%7Cdd8cbebb21394df8b4114e3e87abeb5c%7C0%7C1%7C637209130190146167&sdata=SwOsLYCjN%2FrBsPI9YNOsQpapjdelZ%2BTGBXzMcRgQH6E%3D&reserved=0>, Extended Specimen Network<https://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.aibs.org%2Fhome%2Fassets%2FBCoN_March2019_FINAL.pdf&data=02%7C01%7Cjessica.bazeley%40yale.edu%7C5e01084836874451b01008d7d253ec03%7Cdd8cbebb21394df8b4114e3e87abeb5c%7C0%7C1%7C637209130190151145&sdata=8aAcRihh%2B8DHNTNEKVfs4Da8%2FSeULWvWNsyteEHGK54%3D&reserved=0>, Natural Science Collections Alliance<http://www.nscalliance.org/>, AIBS<https://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.aibs.org%2Fhome%2Findex.html&data=02%7C01%7Cjessica.bazeley%40yale.edu%7C5e01084836874451b01008d7d253ec03%7Cdd8cbebb21394df8b4114e3e87abeb5c%7C0%7C0%7C637209130190156122&sdata=%2FjBVtOXPvaGVjckz9ZcxB9jPzl939gvydjlu2dOfhXc%3D&reserved=0>, QUBESHub<https://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fqubeshub.org%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cjessica.bazeley%40yale.edu%7C5e01084836874451b01008d7d253ec03%7Cdd8cbebb21394df8b4114e3e87abeb5c%7C0%7C1%7C637209130190161101&sdata=S4aevR4nYF%2FX2peGMKHtWlTscMb2ojafB4vs0Qm1bCg%3D&reserved=0>, BioQuest<https://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbioquest.org%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cjessica.bazeley%40yale.edu%7C5e01084836874451b01008d7d253ec03%7Cdd8cbebb21394df8b4114e3e87abeb5c%7C0%7C1%7C637209130190161101&sdata=%2B8PFRf667poqrxP1jNznkKUQQKNhmbh0wrLAsjclNE0%3D&reserved=0>, and Biodiversity Literacy in Undergraduate Education<https://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.biodiversityliteracy.com%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cjessica.bazeley%40yale.edu%7C5e01084836874451b01008d7d253ec03%7Cdd8cbebb21394df8b4114e3e87abeb5c%7C0%7C0%7C637209130190166079&sdata=DUMLNZ0KsfEDbmCxoVm%2FaW2yEETBeA4m3phAN38jQHc%3D&reserved=0>.
