Preconference Invited Workshop

Pre-conference Invited Workshop
Breakfast (On your own) 7:30 - 8:30 a.m.
{Location} ({time}) Biodiversity Literacy in Undergraduate Education: A Workshop to define competencies for the core undergraduate biology curriculum Moderator: Anna Monfils The NSF funded RCN-UBE Biodiversity Literacy in Undergraduate Education - Data Initiative (BLUE Data) is working to bring together communities of biodiversity, data, and education specialists to identify 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. This is the first of several invited workshops to generate community consensus on a core set of biodiversity data literacy skills. The goal of this specific meeting is to review the current landscape of data literacy competencies from k-12 to graduate education in biodiversity data science, identify gaps in student learning related to data and biodiversity science core skills, and begin to generate community consensus on defined biodiversity data literacy competencies. Results from this workshop will inform efforts to develop competencies, materials, and strategies designed to facilitate broad-scale adoption of transferrable data literacy competencies that can improve undergraduate biology training and meet increasing workforce demands in both data and biodiversity sciences.

Workshop 1 - {Location} ({time}) Moderator: Andy Bentley Theme: BCoN: Data integration and attribution This workshop will expand on the BCoN February needs assessment workshop and will focus on finding mechanisms to facilitate the integration of data and attribution of collections within the data pipeline. All conference attendees are welcomed to attend. A white paper from the February workshop will be used to highlight areas of need, topics of discussion, further development, and to discuss specific ways in which we can bridge the existing gaps and provide the necessary mechanisms to create robust integration and attribution pathways for collections data.
