ASLO 2013 ASLO Aquatic Sciences Meeting S-FACTOR 3 (FILM ANALYSIS WORKSHOP) - PART I Monday, 19 February 2013 12:00 to 13:30 (Lunch Time) - Room 345 Following our previous successes (2010, 2011, and 2012 winter meetings), at the 2013 meeting in New Orleans (February 17-22), we will conduct the S-Factor Video Workshop once again. Randy Olson, the marine biologist–turned filmmaker, will bring his Hollywood “S Team” for expert critiques. Randy has written and directed films about the oceans (his Shifting Baselines shorts), evolutionary biology (“Flock of Dodos”) and climate change (“Sizzle”), authored the book Don’t Be Such a Scientist, and for 2013 has a new historical documentary about a part of World War II featuring the voices of Richard Dreyfuss, Martin Sheen, and Brian Dennehy. As he did for the 2012 Ocean Sciences Meeting, he will bring two Hollywood veterans: Dorie Barton, script analyst and actress (e.g, Meet the Fockers, Down with Love) and Brian Palermo, improv instructor and actor (e.g., The Social Network, Disney’s Girl VS. Monster) to join him on the S Factor Panel and other workshops in New Orleans. We Want Your Short Videos! As with previous S Factor Workshops, the target is to explain aquatic science for lay public consumption. We invite anyone interested to submit a short video (not to exceed 5 minutes in You- Tube format). All submitted videos will be posted and discussed on-line prior to the meeting. A selection of submitted ones will be given critiques at the meeting. Similar to the OSM2012 response, we hope to get submissions from a broad array of graduate students, early career scientists, more established scientists, professional filmmakers, and high school teachers. S- Factor 3 is scheduled in two parts, at the mid-day lunch break on Monday and on Tuesday evening. S-Factor 3 is partially supported by a grant from the Ocean Sciences Division of the US National Science Foundation. For more information or to submit a video, contact jsharp@udel.edu. SNAP IT UP: ADVICE FROM HOLLYWOOD FOR SHORT PRESENTATIONS Tuesday, 19 February 2013 12:00 to 13:30 (Lunch Time) - Room 345 Jonathan H. Sharp (University of Delaware) and Adrienne Sponberg (ASLO) as co-chairs. You have only 15 minutes to present your data -- it’s a challenge. But in the world of Hollywood, where they know how to tell entire stories in 5 seconds (literally) that amount of time is an eternity. Randy Olson is a former scientist who knew the science talk format well before moving to Hollywood and becoming a filmmaker. In this workshop he brings with him two voices directly from this rapid communication world of Hollywood: actress/script consultant Dorie Barton, and actor/improv instructor Brian Palermo. They have been working as a team (The S Team!) for over a year, with this being their fifth workshop. They will be attending science sessions on Monday and will share tips and tricks over lunch on Tuesday that will help you be more effective in your 15-minutes of fame. L&O E-LECTURES TOWN HALL: AN EFFECTIVE APPROACH FOR ADDRESSING BROADER IMPACTS Tuesday, 19 February 2013 12:00 to 13:30 (Lunch Time) - Room 344 Please join us for a Limnology & Oceanography e-Lectures Town Hall: “L&O e-Lectures: An Effective Approach for Addressing Broader Impacts.” Several funding agencies now require proposals to not only 16 provide justification for the intellectual merit of their work, but must also include a plan for activities demonstrating the broader impacts on society. For many, the task is arduous and elusive, with outcomes difficult to assess. L&O e-Lectures, a new publication from ASLO, offers a fresh and effective alternative for addressing societal benefit requirements by providing a high impact venue for publication in lecture format. The lectures can be used at the post-secondary level, or for the public at large. Over the past year, the L&O e-Lectures website has received over 40,000 hits and this number is growing exponentially. If, for example, just 1% of these hits were to result in e-Lecture downloads by post-secondary instructors, this would amount to approximately 400 instructors using these e-Lectures to teach their courses. As university class sizes range anywhere from 20 to 150 students, this translates to reaching 8000 to 60,000 students. The net outcome of publishing in L&O e-Lectures is win-win: a researcher submits their findings for publication in L&O, L&O Methods, L&O e-Books or L&O Fluids in the Environment, and can also submit a companion publication in L&O e-Lectures. This Town Hall will introduce one of ASLO’s newest peer-reviewed publications, L&O e-Lectures, and will provide a forum to discuss publishing opportunities. Hosted by Jennifer Cherrier, Florida A&M University and Editor-in-Chief L&O e-Lectures. For more information about L&O e-Lectures visit www.aslo.org/lectures (http://www.aslo. org/lectures) Contact Jennifer Cherrier: lolectures-editor@aslo.org or Jason Emmett: lolectures-manager@aslo.org NSF OCEAN SCIENCE TOWN HALL MEETING Tuesday, 19 February 2013 12:00 to 13:30 (Lunch Time) - Room 343 NSF program officers and staff will report on new and upcoming solicitations, describe proposed changes to the ships scheduling process, and answer questions from participants. GETTING PEOPLE TO HANG ON (ALMOST) EVERY WORD: TELLING STORIES ABOUT YOUR SCIENCE Tuesday, 19 February 2013 12:00 to 13:30 (Lunch Time) - Room 346 – 347 This workshop will be led by Ari Daniel Shapiro. We are made up of stories. They are the strongest currency of communication and memory. In this workshop, you will learn how to take your science – and the way you usually present data and research – and tell stories about it. Humorous stories that make people smile, meaningful stories that last, and engaging stories that make your listeners interested in the science. You will hear some examples, and get to try it yourself. Lunch provided by COSEE OCEAN to the first 25 attendees. S-FACTOR 3 (FILM ANALYSIS WORKSHOP) - PART II Tuesday, 19 February 2013 19:30 to 21:00 - Room 345 A continuation of the S-Factor 3 (Film Analysis Workshop) Organized by: Jonathan H. Sharp (University of Delaware) and Adrienne Sponberg (ASLO) Following the success of the S-Factor 2 at the 2012 Ocean Sciences Meeting (see the website: http://www.sfactorpanels.org/sf2.html for information about the last workshop), we propose another film analysis workshop in New Orleans. The workshop will be led by scientistturned-filmmaker, Randy Olson, who has been assisting ASLO with
Meeting Program film analysis workshops since 2010. Selected submitted videos will be critiqued by a team consisting of Olson (actor and independent filmmaker) and Hollywood veterans Dorie Barton (actress and story line consultant for screenwriters) and Brian Palermo (actor and improv acting instructor). The three served as the panel for the S-Factor 2 workshop at the 2012 Ocean Sciences meeting and are now becoming a team, including special workshops for organizations like the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Center for Disease Control. Similar to the previous workshops, we will invite anyone interested to submit a short video (not to exceed 5 minutes in You-Tube format). All submitted videos will be posted and discussed on-line prior to the meeting. A selection of submitted ones will be given critiques at the meeting. Similar to the OSM2012 response, we hope to get submissions from a broad array of graduate students, early career scientists, more established scientists, professional filmmakers, high school teachers. We want to schedule this workshop in two-parts, at the mid-day break and in the evening on Tuesday. Financial support for this workshop has been received from the Ocean Sciences Division of the US National Science Foundation. FRONTIERS OF ECOSYSTEM SCIENCE WORKSHOP Tuesday, 19 February 2013 19:30 to 21:30 - Room 346 - 347 Ecosystem science has a long history as a core program at the National Science Foundation (NSF), and although topics of research have fluctuated over the years as in any program, it retains a clear identity and continues to attract exciting proposals. As science is becoming more interdisciplinary, particularly the science of global environmental change, ecosystem scientists often find themselves in positions of intellectual and organizational leadership because of their experience working across disciplines. Now is an appropriate time to energize and bring together the discipline in pursuit of a research agenda for the future. The NSF funded a series of workshops (PeterGroffman and Kathleen Weathers, Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, are PIs) to accomplish this. The workshops and discussion groups will be held at multiple scientific-society meetings over the next two years, culminating in a Frontiers of Ecosystem Science Symposium. Relevant target societies in addition to ASLO include AGU, ASM, ERF, ESA, SFS (formerly NABS), ISME, IALE, AAG and SSSA. For this workshop, our organizing committee (Groffman, Weathers, Emily Bernhardt – Duke, Trina McMahon - University of Wisconsin, Joshua Schimel - UC Santa Barbara) will make an overview presentation to serve as a jumping off point for the session, which will focus on exciting developments in ecosystem ecology and its interfaces with otherdisciplines. Results from the discussion will serve as input for our final symposium that will involve approximately 50 participants and will produce a “white paper” that would serve as an evaluation and direction for the science that could be used at NSF and elsewhere. This workshop will focus on exciting developments in ecosystem ecology and its interfaces with other disciplines as part of a National Science Foundation funded, multi-scientific society effort to address frontiers in ecosystem science and produce a “white paper” that will serve as an evaluation and direction for the discipline. Organized by Nancy B. Grimm, Ph.D., Professor, School of Life Sciences, Senior Sustainability Scientist, Global Institute of Sustainability, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ USA 85287 17 SCIENCE JOURNALISM: OUT OF GULF COAST WATERS AND ONTO THE NEWS WIRES Wednesday, 20 February 2013 12:00 to 13:30 (Lunch Time) - Room 344 ASLO Organizer: Cheryl Lyn Dybas, National Science Foundation, cdybas@nsf.gov Oil in New Gulf Slick Matches that of 2010 Spill. Through Gulf Waters: Pointing Sea Turtles Back to Sea. After Spill, Gulf Oil Drilling Rebounds. These headlines introduced recent marine science news stories. Did these articles attract readers? If so, what’s the secret to their success? Nancy Rabalais, Executive Director of the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium (LUMCON), will offer opening thoughts on communicating about the ocean sciences. Participants in this workshop will learn how to present science in an interesting way while retaining factual accuracy — the key to good science communication and science journalism. Science journalism aims to transmute scientific concepts and results from jargon-based language often understandable only by scientists, to news relevant to the lives of general readers (listeners/viewers). The workshop explores science writing for a non-scientific audience. Participants will review examples of good science writing from newspapers like the New York Times and Washington Post, and news magazines like Science News and New Scientist; “dissect” the structure of science news and feature articles; discuss how popular coverage of science has changed in recent years; and learn the basics of science journalism. Participants will have the opportunity to write a general audience science article about research presented at the conference, and individual feedback will be offered to those interested. INFORMAL OCEAN SCIENCE EDUCATION: AN INTRODUCTION Wednesday, 20 February 2013 12:00-13:30 - Room 346-347 Workshop Leader: Jerry R. Schubel, PhD; President of the Aquarium of the Pacific • This workshop will explore the following: • The nature of informal science education, how it differs fundamentally from formal science education and occupies a separate and distinct domain of the educational landscape. • Why academic and governmental scientists might want to expand their programs to include informal science education and how the driving forces behind the motivation could, and perhaps should, dictate how the modes by which they pursue informal science education. • The value of partnerships with informal science institutions and the power of energizing networks. Lunch provided by COSEE OCEAN to the first 25 attendees. TOWN HALL: INFORMAL OCEAN SCIENCE EDUCATION: TRENDS AND OPPORTUNITIES Wednesday, 20 February 2013 18:00 to 19:30 - Room 343 Town Hall Leaders: Jerry R. Schubel, PhD; President of the Aquarium of the Pacific and John Fraser, PhD, President and CEO for the New Knowledge Organization Learning happens everywhere, not only in classrooms. As climate changes, sea level rises, and coastal areas get developed, all people need to increase
