Title: Surf and Turf Community Science Meets In-Classroom Applications: How Urban Fish Surveys and Camplus Clay Caterpillars Make Science Accessible
Abstract: Community science happens when public participation is incorporated
in the scientific process. Data collected during community-involved NYC
fish surveys and during student-driven clay caterpillar ecology projects
on the Farmingdale State College campus have been utilized in
undergraduate courses to bridge the learning of statistics, biology, and
community. The East River Fish Project began as a partnership of
environmental education organizations, community groups, and
commercial and recreational anglers to bring greater understanding to
NYC’s urban fish biodiversity. On the Farmingdale State College
campus, the time-tested clay model caterpillar method has been used
to explore the vast biodiversity that naturally resides on the college
campus. Both projects have culminated into student-focused biology
exercises and activities with a goal towards enhancing data literacy
through data visualization and analysis, aligned with the ever-increasing
accessibility of online tools and opportunities for participatory science
focused on natural local surroundings.

Title : Know Your Tharustochytrids: Marine Microbes Behind Omega-3 Health Supplements, Quahog Losses, and New Ocean Viruses
Abstract: Compared to some better-known marine microbes like diatoms and dinoflangellates, thraustochytrids are usually little-noticed contributors to ocean food webs. This talk will explore how thraustochytrids grab attention when associated with outbeaks of marine diseases, as major biotech producers of essential fatty acids, and for haroring a new-to-science group of viruses in their genomes.

Title : Exploring the Marine Microcosmos with Advanced Single-Cell Imaging Approaches
Abstract: This talk will introduce approaches being developed at SoMAS to interrogate conditions and activities of individual cells and viruses. I will introduce our primary analytical tools, Raman Microspectroscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy. Come find out what they’re all about {no previous experience necessary!} We will explore how these tools can be used to measure growth rates, micro-predator feeding rates, viral infection, and nutrient status of single cells as well as map biochemical distributions in 4 dimensions.
