What Lies Below?
From the depths of the oceans, to Arctic soils frozen for millions of years, to deep volcanic gases, Earth’s subsurface is alive with some of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet. I will describe what we’ve learned about these hard-to-reach ecosystems where chemical power, rather than photosynthesis, supports the base of the food chain. What we’ve found has fundamentally changed what we know about the tree of life and challenged our conceptions of what types of habitats can support life. My personal quest to find life deep underground has taken me to the bottom of the ocean in submersibles, into active volcanic craters, and frozen landscapes that have more polar bears than people. By combining adventure with discovery, our work is paving the way for our search for life outside our Earthly home.

Workshops and Panels
After Graduation: Delving into post-baccalaureate options and graduate school applications
|
Organizers:
Shoshana Katzman, Agnes Scott College Jeremy Rentsch, Francis Marion University Jennifer Mandel, University of Memphis This workshop will introduce students and advisors to the many post-baccalaureate options that they can pursue as well as address participants’ awareness of the key elements of successful graduate school applications. The workshop will begin by introducing both students and faculty to different options that students have to reach their final career goals once they finish their undergraduate degree. The world of post-baccalaureate certificate programs and graduate masters programs can be confusing and hard to maneuver for both mentors, advisors, and students. We will discuss the different types of programs available and how students and advisors can navigate this topic to find a good fit for their future career goals. We will then have a networking event to allow students and advisors to ask questions. After the networking event students will discuss ways to enhance their graduate school applications, we will have an interactive moderated discussion with the help of experienced ASB members who will serve as panelists and answer prepared and real-time participants’ follow up questions related to the topic of graduate school applications. There will also be short exercises throughout the workshop that will help attendees experience successful strategies for career development. |

The Only Constant is Change: Programmatic Workflows to Access, Prepare, and Work with NEON Data
Organizers: Laura Nagel and Margaret Cumberland, National Ecological Observatory Network
The National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) collects and provides open ecological data from over 80 locations across the United States to better understand how U.S. ecosystems are changing. NEON data cover a wide range of subject areas within ecology, including organismal observations, biogeochemistry, remote sensing, and micrometeorology. Some datasets already span several years of data collection. This workshop will provide an introduction to discovering, accessing and preparing small mammal observation data, primarily using R. The workshop will be divided into two sections of roughly equal length. The first section will feature an introductory presentation highlighting NEON educational resources for accessing and working with NEON data, an overview of the NEON small mammal data collection protocol, and an introduction to the NEON data portal. The second section will include a code-along guide to (a) accessing data through the NEON API from an R environment using the neonUtilities and geoNEON R packages, (b) understanding the contents and quality of various data packages, and (c) performing common data merges, visualizations, summarizations, and transformations with NEON small mammal data. Basic familiarity with R is required for participation in the workshop.

Social Field Safety : Being more inclusive and understanding risks for marginalized and historically excluded individuals who professionally work outdoors
|
Organizers:
Murry Burgess, Mississippi State University Lauren Pharr, North Carolina State University When it comes to experiencing the outdoors, not everyone’s experiences are equal. Additionally, individuals who carry out fieldwork as a part of their job or research program experience a higher risk of conflict due to identity prejudice. At risk individuals, which include minority identities of the following: race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, gender identity and/or religion, are more likely to be either harassed or questioned in certain settings while carrying out fieldwork (Demery et al. 2020). Everyone deserves to have a safe experience in the outdoors; therefore, it is important to continue to bring forth awareness, and support marginalized and historically excluded individuals who professionally work outdoors in any natural resources field. |
|
|
This workshop will be given by representatives of Field Inclusive (FI), a new nonprofit dedicated to helping prioritize social field safety (i.e. interactions with the general public or other individuals) both on an individual and institutional level. Information will cover the history of minorities and outdoor experiences, the founding of FI, and strategies and suggestions that institutions and organizations can use in order to provide a safe environment for their researchers.

Stories from the Field: Best practices for Field Experiences
Organizer: Steph Jeffries, North Carolina State University
Were you inspired by a field course that stayed with you long after the chigger bites and sunburn healed? Do you want to offer your own field experiences, but are not sure where to start? Join us for a lively discussion that covers the planning and execution of field experiences (labs, courses, and field trips), invites participation, and shares best practices.
Field courses are the mainstay of many programs in biology, but are disappearing due to complicated logistics and safety concerns. This workshop will remind us that field courses often are what got us into biology.

HONEY I BLEW UP THE MOLECULES: 3D PRINTING AS A MULTI-FACETED AND MULTI-DISCIPLINARY PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICE
|
Organizer: Carmony Hartwig, Catawba College
Interested in engaging your students with hands-on models that bring abstract theories to physical ‘life’? Join us on a journey into the world of 3D printing molecular models to help students understand more complex concepts such as drug-molecule interactions, mutational effects on protein structure, and macromolecular composition. During this session, we focus on ways to expand 3D print models into larger course projects that incorporate multiple digital pedagogies such as: Poster presentation with Augmented Reality (AR) apps, exploration of enzyme active sites with Virtual Reality (VR) programs...and beyond! We will brainstorm ways to use this practice in diverse curricula, and in a variety of applications, from drone technologies to field work. |
