Modeling the biosphere: the natural historian's perspectiveRutger Vos
Natural history collections of specimens are a rich source of data for discovering the patterns of biodiversity in space and time and for furthering our understanding of the underlying processes that generate these patterns. Modeling the biosphere in this manner can help address global challenges in relation to climate change, food security, emerging disease and conservation. (Talk to the 3rd annual eScience symposium, 8 October 2015).

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Anna Karenina on hooves - what makes an animal fit for domestication?
1. Anna Karenina on hooves
What makes an animal fit for domestication?

7. Domestication of large animals provided a lot of useful things
• Food - meat, dairy
• Materials - fibre, leather, horn, bone
• Intensive agriculture - manure, draught, ploughing
• Transport - pack animals, inhospitable areas, warfare
• Social stratification, division of labour, technology development
8. “Be fruitful, and multiply.
Replenish the earth, and subdue it.
Have dominion over the fish of the sea,
and over the fowl of the air,
and over every living thing
that moveth upon the earth.
Have extra hard dominion
over these super specific
Artiodactyla and Perissodactyla.
Not the whales, tho.”
9. • The domestication of very specific
animals was vitally important for the rise
of civilizations
• Societies with more, different,
domesticated species have tended to
dominate those with fewer, upon contact
• This was not just because of the greater
technological development (steel, guns),
but also due to zoonoses
If these animals are so important, why
didn’t everyone use them?
10.
11. “Domesticable animals are all alike”
Are their habitats alike?
• 154 species of terrestrial Artiodactyla and Perissodactyla (“ungulates”)
• 29,707 GPS-coded observations in the wild
• 41 GIS layers on climate, soil type, and topography
• Weeks of number crunching
