Students and faculty from Biology (Jonathan Atwell, Christy Bergeon Burns, Ellen Ketterson, Roger Hangarter, Craig Nelson) and Telecommunications (Steve Burns, Ron Osgood) are collaborating on an interactive educational media project on the bird they study, the dark-eyed junco. The title of the project is "Rapid evolution in a backyard songbird--coping with environmental change," and a preview clip can be seen here. The project got started with funding from the College and OVPR; the group has submitted a proposal for funding to the National Science Foundation program "Communicating Research to Public Audiences."
The faculty and staff e-newsletter comes out every month, from August through April. Please send all newsletter contributions to Jocelyn Bowie, jbowie@indiana.edu.
