SUMMARY:Mosquito Mania
DESCRIPTION:Learn about Florida’s well-known insect\, the mosquito! \n\n\nFamilies with youth aged 6-11 years old are invited to discover the fascinating world of Florida’s insects! Learn about what makes insects different from other animals\, where they live\, and their role in the food web. We’ll use Florida’s most well-known insect\, the mosquito\, as a study subject. \nMosquito Mania was designed to meet K-5 Next Generation Sunshine State Science Standards. The program is broken into three parts\, an interactive digital presentation\, an “insect zoo lab” with live specimens for hands-on observation\, and a build-a-mosquito craft to learn about the different body parts. Attendees will observe the mosquito lifecycle (eggs\, larvae\, pupae\, and adults) and the different aquatic predators of mosquito larvae. \nThis program will take place inside of the Weedon Island Preserve Cultural and Natural History Center. Youth must be accompanied by an adult for the full duration of the program. \n>>> REGISTER HERE <<< \nPinellas County complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act. If you are a person with a disability who needs any accommodation in order to participate in this class you are entitled\, at no cost to you\, to the provision of certain assistance. Prior to ten (10) working days before the class\, please submit your request to accommodations@pinellascounty.org and cc weedonisland@pinellas.gov. In your request\, please be sure to include the date and title of the program you need accommodations for\, indicate that the Weedon Island Preserve Cultural and Natural History Center is the program host\, and include what specific accommodations you will need.

SUMMARY:Scientific Literacy: 4-Part Series
DESCRIPTION:If you are curious about the world\, and want to be better equipped at getting at the truth\, join us for a new webinar series in scientific literacy! Starting with an overview of statistics and the core of what science is\, we will work our way through several popular and peer-reviewed articles\, discussing how to read and think critically. Topics we will cover include different forms of bias\, probability theory\, regression to the mean\, and the ever-infamous p-value. We will also talk about the implications of summarizing and “popularizing” results into ever-shorter soundbites\, designed for easy digestion by the general public\, but often at the expense of what the data actually tell us. \nThe target audience for this series is high school and older. \nThe first session in this four-part series will be an introduction to scientific literacy. The following three sessions will be a classroom style discussion looking at a specific science article and/or paper. Links to assigned papers for classroom discussions will be sent in a follow-up email. \nSeries Overview:\nSession 1: Introduction of Scientific Literacy Presented by Brian Magnier\nSession 2: We’ll look at our 1st specific article or paper. Come ready to discuss!\nSession 3: We’ll look at our 2nd specific article or paper. Come ready to discuss!\nSession 4: We’ll look at our 3rd specific article or paper. Come ready to discuss\, plus final wrap up and overview of entire series. \nThis series is led by Brian Magnier alongside Brooker Creek Preserve Staff. Brian Magnier is a naturalist and wildlife photographer. He studied ecology and evolutionary biology at Cornell University\, where his passion for the natural world flourished. \n>>> RESERVE A SPOT <<<
