Evening Reception
Time Room 1 Room 2 Room 3
6:00 - 6:20 Welcome and Description of Evening Activities
6:20 - 6:50 Scientifically Speaking with Irene Moon presents: You, the Charmer
Since 1997, Scientifically Speaking with Irene Moon has been presenting The Lectography: musical lectures about insects and other arthropods in an attempt to elevate Entomology as a rock genre. Performing at basement house shows and famous music venues like the Knitting Factory, Cafe Otto and the San Francisco Electronic Music Festival, Irene Moon has toured the US, Europe and Australia. She created over 30 musical volumes (including pressed vinyl records) during her career and performed live radio broadcasts dealing with entomological topics on WFMU in New York and other radio stations.

Irene Moon (a.k.a Katja C. Seltmann, Ph.D.) is the Director of the Cheadle Center for Biodiversity and Ecological Restoration at the University of California Santa Barbara. She brings the aesthetics from the entomology laboratory in front of alternative audiences in the form of absurd, factual presentations about insects. Performance and lecture are a means of connecting the public to entomology and increasing awareness of the art and creativity intrinsic to the scientific process. The PowerPoint presentation for the Digital Data in Biodiversity Research Conference is a New Wave lecture on cockroaches titled “You, the Charmer” that incorporates psychedelic imagery, pop styled torch songs, and comedy.

R and the iDigBio API Workshop

Facilitators: Erica Krimmel, iDigBio, Florida State University and Ronald Canepa, ACIS Lab, University of Florida
This workshop will focus on using the iDigBio API (Application Programming Interface) to work with biodiversity occurrence data in R. Topics will be determined unconference-style by workshop attendees, but could include those related to collections management, e.g. reviewing specimen data quality issues, and to downstream research, e.g. facilitating reproducible and reusable methods. Community members of all backgrounds (collections staff, researchers, IT, etc.) and levels of programming experience (including R novices!) are encouraged to attend this workshop as a way to discover and discuss API data access, issues, and solutions. This workshop is a product of the iDigBio API User Group (R-based).

Unconference: Biodiversity Information Science from Perspectives in Other Disciplines

Facilitators: Deb Paul, iDigBio, Florida State University; Kimberly Cook and Gary Motz, Indiana University
Biodiversity Information Science (BIS) is an inherently multidisciplinary science that is supported by a wealth of perspectives and expertise in diverse fields such as data science, information and library science, computer science, and many others. This unconference session is intended to explore mechanisms by which we can increase and enhance the diversity of people working to advance biodiversity information science in ways that were NOT addressed in the formal program of the Digital Data conference. Unconferences are intentionally unstructured meetings where YOU, the participants (including and especially students), tell the organizers what is important to you and should be better represented in future programming and opportunities for practitioners in our field.
