SUMMARY:Managing the Planet: Changing the mindset around climate change
DESCRIPTION:Changing the mindset around climate change: What we know\, how we act\, and why it takes so long\nThe United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change opened for signature at the Rio Earth Summit in 1992. The world’s governments\, including the U.S.\, officially recognized the reality of climate change and the need for action. Since that time\, scientists\, climate activists\, concerned politicians\, and educators have issued a series of increasingly dire warnings about the negative consequences of climate change. These warnings have had some effect. \nThe reality of climate change has been accepted by most Americans.  Recent polling shows that approximately 70% of our population believes that climate change is occurring and 62% that humans are the main cause. These numbers have risen substantially over the last year. \nBut 30% of Americans still do not believe that climate change is real\, nearly 40% do not accept that human activity is responsible\, and fossil fuels still supply 80% of global energy.  Why do so many remained unconvinced\, and why are people not doing more to solve the problem? \nOur CSU panelists will discuss the gap between compelling scientific evidence of a problem and lack of action.  After twenty-six years of news reports about the impacts of climate change on floods\, hurricanes\, and wildfires\, why are we STILL debating whether climate change is real\, whether it is human-caused\, and whether we can and should do anything about it?

SUMMARY:Antarctic Lecture: Joel Singley\, "Spiraling Downstream"
DESCRIPTION:Spiraling Downstream: How Microbes Grapple for Nitrogen in an Antarctic Stream\nJoel Singley- Doctoral Student\, University of Colorado Boulder\nFor a few weeks each Austral summer\, small ephemeral streams flow through the McMurdo Dry Valleys\, an extreme polar desert in Antarctica. These streams are home to rich microbial communities\, including algal mats that carpet the streambed in bright oranges and greens. In addition to surviving most of the year in a freeze-dried state\, these microbes must content with low concentrations of essential nutrients\, such as nitrogen\, and intermittent food pulses\, which threaten to scour them away. We will examine how nitrogen spirals downstream through different microbial communities in this unforgiving environment allowing life to persist.

SUMMARY:How to Talk to Journalists: Bridging the Cultures of Science and Journalism
DESCRIPTION:Why do so many scientists find it hard\, even unnerving\, to talk to journalists? \nWhat are the rules of engagement – and the do’s and don’ts of dealing with the media? How can you prepare to avoid the pitfalls that many scientists fear and increase the odds that you are happy with the results?  How can you make the most of opportunities with the press\, for your science to have an impact? \nJoin veteran journalists for tips about engaging with the media. We’ll explore the differences between the cultures of scientists and journalists and how to bridge the gulf. And you’ll gain insights into how they find – and choose – their stories and sources. \nThis year’s event is well timed for the up-coming Oct. 9 – 13 Society of Environmental Journalists (SEJ) meeting at CSU. It will attract hundreds of environmental and science journalists from across the country and beyond. \nBring your questions!  You’ll get candid answers in a safe setting from this diverse array of journalists. \nModerator:\nNancy Baron is the Director of Science Outreach for COMPASS. Nancy holds workshops around the world for academic\, government\, and NGO scientists helping them develop core competencies as scientist communicators who want to make their work relevant to journalists\, policy makers\, and the public. Nancy began her career as a biologist in Banff National Park\, spent 6 years as Director of Education at the Vancouver Aquarium\, then morphed into journalism. She has won numberous writing awards including the Canadian Science Writers Science in Society and National Magazine awards. An ardent natuarlist\, she published a popular field guide\, The Birds of Costal British Columbia (Lone Pine Publishing) and a “how to” communications guide book for scientists titled Escape from the Ivory Tower (Island Press). Nancy received the 2013 Peter Benchley Ocean Award for Excellence in the Media for her work at the intersection of science and journalism. \nJournalists:\nChristopher Joyce has been a correspondent and editor at NPR for 26 years. For all but two years\, he’s worked on the science desk\, writing and producing stories on all fields of science\, with an emphasis on biology\, energy\, and environmental sciences. His stories can be heard on all of NPR’s news programs\, including NPR’s “Morning Edition”\, “All Things Considered”\, and “Weekend Edition”. In addition to his work with the science desk\, Chris was the editor and a correspondent for NPR’s Radio Expeditions\, a documentary program on natural history produced in collaboration with the National Geographic Society. He has also written two popular books on science\, “Witnesses from the Grave: The Stories Bones Tell” and “Earthly Goods: Medicine Hunting in the Rainforest\,” both published by Little Brown. In his free time\, Chris sails a 38-foot Ericson called “Ruby Slipper.” \nGrace Hood is an Environmental Reporter at Colorado Public Radio who investigates energy and environment topics in Colorado. She is drawn to people with compelling stories. Whether it’s tracking down a hidden monument on Forest Service land or following scientists as they count birds with drones\, her passion is finding stories that are surprising. If she’s really successful\, maybe you’ll think about something in a different way. Grace began her career as a reporter at the Boulder Weekly. Before entering journalism\, she was a history major at Bryn Mawr College. Her reporting has been recognized by the Associated Press\, Society for Professional Journalists and RTDNA. \nDavid Malakoff is a Deputy News Editor specializing in coverage of science policy\, energy and the environment. A native of Washington D.C.\, he has spent more than 25 years reporting on how scientists influence government policy\, and how government policy shapes science. In addition to reporting for Science\, he has worked as an editor and correspondent on NPR’s Science Desk\, for Conservation Magazine\, and as a freelancer for numerous outlets. \nAviva Rutkin is the Data Editor at The Conversation US\, a nonprofit media outlet with content written by academics and edited by journalists. She was previously a reporter/editor at New Scientist. Her work has also appeared in BBC\, National Geographic\, MIT Technology Review\, Metro\, Salon\, and Mashable. She studied neuroscience at Union College and science writing at MIT. \nKatie Langin is the associate editor for the Careers section of Science Magazine.

SUMMARY:Biodiversity\, Bluegrass\, and Brews
DESCRIPTION:The Global Biodiversity Center is hosting its 2nd annual ‘Biodiversity\, Bluegrass\, and Brews’ event on September 26\, 2019 from 5-8pm on the back patio of Avogadro’s Number. This event is a way to create further awareness across the Colorado State University and Fort Collins communities of the efforts of the GBC and the work that CSU conservation scientists are conducting around the globe\, while also bringing to light important conservation issues. Entry into the event is $20 (cash only!) and will allow attendees a chance to enjoy the get out of your seat and dance\, local bluegrass music from House with a Yard (http://www.hwaymusic.com/)\, while sipping on three limited time only brews from a keepsake commemorative tulip glass. This year\, the GBC is teaming up with Intersect\, Maxline\, and Horse & Dragon Breweries to create three conservation-themed brews inspired by threatened public lands. The brews will honor: 1. Rose Atoll Marine National Monument with a tropical gose called ‘Motu o Manu’ 2. Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness with a pale ale named ‘Blue Boundary’\, made with locally sourced fruit and wild rice; and 3. Arctic National Wildlife Refuge with an alder-smoked blueberry pilsner made with lingonberry. All proceeds from the event will go towards supporting the mission of the GBC.
