SUMMARY:Bird necessities: the importance of small forest islands for behavior in a tropical savanna
DESCRIPTION:AOS Research Grant Seminar\nPresenter: Valentina Gómez-Bahamón\, Assistant Professor\, Virginia Tech; 2023 AOS Latin American and Caribbean Conservation Research Grant \n  \nValentina Gómez-Bahamón\nSavanna birds in the tropics depend on small forest islands for nesting\, roosting\, foraging\, displaying\, escaping predators\, and other essential daily activities. Unfortunately\, these islands are rapidly disappearing as savannas are converted into extensive monocultures of exotic timber species and crops. To understand how birds use these habitats and which ecological characteristics are most important\, we studied bird behavior and habitat attributes across forest islands in the Colombian Orinoquía. I will present the main findings of this research\, highlighting how forest island heterogeneity supports bird communities and the behaviors they depend on. I will also discuss how this work has expanded research for conservation at the Tomogrande Biological Field Station\, contributed to mentoring local early-career researchers\, and fostered outreach activities with local communities to promote the conservation of tropical savanna ecosystems. \nMore about the Research Grant Seminar Series

SUMMARY:Accessibility in science communication: Reducing barriers to effective knowledge sharing
DESCRIPTION:AOS Professional Development Webinar\n  \n \nPresenter: \nMartha Barta\, AOS Elective Student Councilor; Ph.D. Student\, Tulane University \nModerator: \nSara Padula \nCommunicating your research to a broad audience is a critical part of today’s scientific process\, and prioritizing accessibility in science communication helps ensure that your ideas and findings are disseminated widely and openly. In this workshop\, we will use a universal design framework to broaden our understanding of accessibility and explore what accessibility means in science communication. We’ll discuss concrete strategies to promote accessibility before\, during\, and after a communication event\, and present free tools that can help make your content accessible to more viewers. By striving for accessible communication\, members of all career stages and sub-disciplines can support a diverse\, inclusive\, and welcoming scientific community. \nThis event was organized by Sara Padula and Raven the troodontid. \nThis webinar is free and available to all current AOS members as a membership benefit.  \nThe registration link will send you to the AOS member portal to access the Zoom link to register. Please login to the AOS member portal with your AOS member login credentials. If you are not a current AOS member\, you will be prompted to renew your membership to access this professional development opportunity.
