Engaging the public in scientific research for conservationCitizenScience.org
Public participation in scientific research (PPSR) refers to initiatives in which the public is involved in one or more phases of scientific research – from defining questions to using results – and encompasses citizen science, participatory monitoring, community science, and a variety of other endeavors and approaches. PPSR offers significant opportunities for conservation by addressing the increasing demand for information and the need for action, from identifying species at risk, to interpreting data for policy and management, to increasing public understanding and stewardship of the natural environment. For such research partnerships to advance goals for all involved, it is essential to better understand factors that influence specific outcomes and impacts. Conservation scientists and practitioners, resource managers, academics, community and project leaders, educators, land stewards, and others gathered to discuss key issues for PPSR in relation to conservation goals at a workshop at the American Museum of Natural History in April 2011.
This group identified key challenges, facilitating factors, and best practices for PPSR to have greater relevance for conservation questions and outcomes, including generating data that is relevant and meaningful, reaching and engaging new audiences, and implementing processes that integrate conventional science and other forms of knowledge. This paper will present tools and recommendations derived from the workshop that contribute to advancing the field of PPSR by addressing science, education, and conservation goals.
This talk was presented at the 2011 meetings of the International Symposium on Society and Resource Management (Madison, WI) and the Ecological Society of America (Austin, TX).
Acting on the Future: Practical Foresight Implementation in CanadaWorldFuture2015
The document discusses the need for governments to implement foresight functions to help anticipate future challenges and opportunities in an increasingly complex world. It provides examples of foresight implementation in different countries. While Canada has a central foresight agency, most government departments and agencies do not have formal foresight functions. There is no network to support collaboration between the existing foresight activities, which tend to be isolated. The document concludes that Canada has a long way to go to develop a robust foresight regime across government.

This document outlines the requirements for a problem/solution essay assignment. Students are asked to identify a problem at De Anza College, within a group they belong to, or at their workplace. They must define the problem, propose and evaluate potential solutions, and make a recommendation to an identified audience. The document provides guidance on key elements to include, such as clearly defining the problem, proposing and justifying a solution, anticipating objections, and considering alternative solutions before making a call to action. Students are directed to course materials for additional help with choosing a topic, planning, drafting, and revising their essay.
This document provides guidance for peer reviewing problem-solution essays. It instructs reviewers to summarize the problem and proposed solution, praise effective aspects, and critique areas for improvement. Specifically, it asks reviewers to evaluate how well the problem is defined, the solution is argued, counterarguments are addressed, alternative solutions are shown to be less effective, and overall readability. The goal is to help writers strengthen their drafts by understanding how the reader interprets the key points and providing constructive feedback.
The document provides instructions for making a basic pillow at home. It outlines three parts to the process: preparing the fabric by cutting two equal squares or rectangles, stitching the pillow by sewing three sides and turning it right side out, and stuffing and closing the pillow by filling it and sewing the opening. Making pillows is a simple and inexpensive way to learn basic sewing skills rather than buying pre-made pillows from the store. The step-by-step directions guide the reader through each stage of the pillow making process.
