By N.L. Sweeney
\nWhen people imagine what academic research is, most picture lab coats, petri dishes and sterile rooms. At the University of Washington Bothell, students, staff and faculty do much more than work in indoor laboratories. 足彩app哪个是正规的y take advantage of nature as a classroom, conducting studies that range from monitoring pollinator species on campus and gathering plants from UW Bothell\u2019s wetlands to photographing wildlife in local Eastside parks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As varied as this work is, all of it is crucial for effective conservation, an issue that is both pressing and current. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

足彩app哪个是正规的se investigations will make up the presentations at \u201cEnvironmental Surveys: Monitoring and Protecting Wildlife,\u201d the autumn 2019 Campus Research Connections<\/a> (CRC) event organized by UW Bothell\u2019s Office of Research<\/a>. Open to the public, CRC events are quarterly, interactive programs that provide an opportunity to hear from and talk with UW Bothell faculty who are making advances in research, scholarship and creative practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cConservation is an issue that needs to involve members of the community as well as scientists, which is exactly why the CRC is so important,\u201d said David Stokes, a professor in the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences<\/a> (IAS). \u201cThis program bridges the gaps between science, students and the public. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur goal is to further research culture both on and off campus and to give our community ways to get involved.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Across disciplines and departments <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Starting at 6:30 p.m. in Discovery Hall 061, the October 18 event will feature faculty and staff from IAS; the School of Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics<\/a> (STEM); the Sustainability Office; and the campus Herbarium, which hosts a scientific collection of dried plants from the campus wetlands and the region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you arrive a little early, you also might see the infamous crows of Bothell arriving to roost for the night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUW Bothell is a hub for environmental and wildlife studies,\u201d said Sarah Verlinde, launch specialist in the Office of Research. \u201cWe chose to gather these projects together not only because this issue is current but also because these varied topics form a model for what sustainability research can look like.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Alexa Russo, coordinator in the Sustainability Office<\/a>, this interdisciplinary approach is not just interesting \u2014 it is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSustainability is a multi-faceted issue, and it requires equally multi-faceted research,\u201d said Russo. \u201cWhat we hope to feature at this CRC are ways people with different specialties can study contemporary issues such as conservation and the environment.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet the presenters <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many of the presenters are continuing their data collection and welcome involvement from attendees. \u201c足彩app哪个是正规的re is something here for everyone,\u201d said Verlinde. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVerlinde, who is also the collections manager for UW Bothell\u2019s Herbarium<\/a>, observes and records flora data for future scientific studies, a job that is critical to studying change over time. 足彩app哪个是正规的s can volunteer on Friday mornings in the lab, and community members can collect and submit their collected plant specimen\/vouchers from around the state.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stokes comes to his explorations on the wealth of diversity in urban environments with a similar goal of long-term monitoring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is increasingly important to have non-experimental studies that are looking at changes in environments, such as parks, that are otherwise overlooked,\u201d he said. \u201c足彩app哪个是正规的se give us results that show the kinds of impacts we are having on our environment and how we might curb those effects.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Russo and for Amy Lambert, an IAS lecturer whose research includes bee populations on campus, the need for more data is a pressing one. \u201cOver one-third of every bite we take is \u2018pollinated\u2019 by bees,\u201d Russo said. \u201cIt is critical to our food system to support their populations. Our research is a step in that direction.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also presenting at the event are Cynthia Chang, an assistant professor in STEM whose research examines the causes and consequences of plant diversity across multiple levels of diversity, from population to ecosystem scales; and Ursula Valdez, a lecturer in IAS whose expertise includes ecology, conservation, ornithology, natural history, field biology and human connections with the environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making connections <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps the greatest benefit of this event is the in-person opportunity community members as well as students will have to network with expert teachers and researchers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur hope is not only to share the pride and work that go into this research but also to inspire others to join us in making it happen,\u201d said Russo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the studies featured in the program have student researchers positioned in pivotal roles. \u201cWe are so grateful to all the students,\u201d said Verlinde. \u201c足彩app哪个是正规的y make these projects possible, and we are always looking for more help.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the event, community members will have a chance to speak with researchers and find out how they can be part of the process, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you want to connect with the research being done at UW Bothell, the CRC is the place to be,\u201d said Verlinde. \u201cNow is the time to get involved.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
