Their roles include those of pest, disease carrier, ecosystem cornerstone, biological control agent, food, and object of art. The links below show how insect study can be integrated into math s (eg, population and activity statistics, robotics), language (life as an insect), music (incorporating insect sound files), art (scientific and artistic drawings), social science (insects in folklore and myth), science (biology and forensics), and healt h (insects as food and disease carriers).

Extractions: Table of contents Next section Previous section CELS home page The annual meetings of scientific societies in the life sciences provide an opportunity for members to exchange scientific knowledge and engage in the scholarly dissemination of research. In recent years, many of these societies have also instituted education sessions that include workshops, posters, papers, lectures, roundtable discussions, and exhibits. The sampling of activities described herein illustrates the rich variety of offerings. Annual meetings reflect the nature of the societies' membership; some are evenly balanced among research, teaching, and public service, while others emphasize only one aspect of scholarly activity. Several societies devoted primarily to undergraduate biology education, for example, program their annual meetings for sharing expertise, philosophies, and resources germane to teaching undergraduate students. A number of societies offer travel grants to encourage faculty to participate in the national meetings, particularly in the education sessions. The

Extractions: Secretary: Jenny Franklin, 494 9061 TEXT: none PREREQUISITE COURSES: none, but Entm 306 may help or take concurrently AUDIENCE: This class is intended for students in Agricultural Education. PURPOSE: This class is expected to provide sufficient information about insects to allow an Agricultural Education teacher to comfortably and conveniently use insects in a classroom to achieve educational objectives. I expect that this course will achieve several ends: a. serve as a source of open-ended activities to lead students into important skills, reinforce concepts, and formulate attitudes; b. serve as a model for activities and approaches you might want to adopt; c. enrich your own appreciation for the uniqueness and ecological importance of insects so that you approach agriculture, biology, and science with a new perspective.

Extractions: Recent IPM Activities IPM Activities Update: October 25, 2002 National IPM in Schools Meetings A national IPM workshop, funded by the National Foundation for IPM Education (NFIPME), was held on October 2, 2002 in Arlington, VA. The meeting brought together a number of school IPM implementers from across the country to begin discussions on national strategies for IPM in schools. The stated purpose of the meeting was to explore opportunities to increase effectiveness at IPM implementation by improving information sharing and coordination of efforts, and to develop strategies and tools to 1) more efficiently implement IPM in schools and 2) illuminate IPM in schools successes. This meeting was seen a starting point for a broader ongoing national discussion on these issues. Some of the priories/issues identified included: Broadening the circle of these discussions to include all interested stakeholders and implementers Education of the public and IPM marketing The procurement process and IPM Development of an IPM in schools awards/recognition program for schools Sharing limited IPM resources Defining the role of Extension in IPM in schools The role of EPA regional offices in IPM in schools Linking IPM in schools with Indoor Air Quality and other environmental issues

Extractions: berisford@bugs.ent.uga.edu My research centers around basic and applied studies leading toward integrated management of forest insects. The work is concentrated on major southern forest pests, particularly bark beetles, pine tip moths, and pests of southern pine seed orchards. Basic work is related to studies of the life processes of forest insects. Research on control methods includes parasites and predators, the use of semiochemicals in direct control, in phenological models and optimum timing of chemical control. Research on chemical control includes development of testing protocols, more efficient methods for use of chemicals, particularly biorational chemicals, and integration of these methods into forest management. We also have conducted studies on introduced forest pests such as gypsy moth, pine shoot beetle, loblolly pine mealybug in China and

Extractions: Renewable Resources EDUCATION: Twelve-month grazing and forage planning workshop (2- and 3-day) Trace and macro mineral management workshops : Four workshops were conducted in western North Dakota for livestock producers. Ranchers learned mineral needs for livestock, mineral status on rangeland and pastureland, and balancing mineral needs to improve management skills of the grazing livestock animal and became proactive in maintaining and understanding a well-balanced mineral program. These workshops were designed to teach livestock producers potential problems in mineral deficiencies and how to balance a supplement program to improve livestock health. Over 150 ranchers participated in these workshops, having a direct impact on the health and production potential of an estimated 30,000 head of livestock. Educating youth on the importance of the range resource : A 4-day range youth camp was conducted in western North Dakota for youth interested in the range resource and range judging. Youth learned the importance of range to livestock producers, the environment community, and wildlife enthusiasts. They learned basic fundamental range management practices and how to judge the resource for health and value for forage and wildlife habitat. Over 40 youth ages 13-18 participated in the 4-day camp and over 140 participated in the State Range Judging Contest. We believe any involvement of youth in the importance of the range resource and fundamental needs for managing these lands will create a more well-rounded adult.
