This session is an introduction and invitation to participate in two new initiatives related to biodiversity education: Biodiversity Literacy in Undergraduate Education (BLUE) a newly funded RCN-UBE, and the Broadening Participation in Biodiversity Sciences Working Group. Following a brief presentation on the two project’s upcoming activities and opportunities, facilitators will lead participants in a discussion focusing on the following: 1) What core data skills do all undergraduate biology students need to access and interpret data from digital natural history collection archives? 2) What resources are currently available for introductory biology instructors wanting to use collections based digital data in the classroom? and 3) What resources are available to biodiversity scientists seeking to broaden participation of underrepresented groups in the biodiversity sciences.<br><br> | This session is an introduction and invitation to participate in two new initiatives related to biodiversity education: Biodiversity Literacy in Undergraduate Education (BLUE) a newly funded RCN-UBE, and the Broadening Participation in Biodiversity Sciences Working Group.
