SUMMARY:Beet Armyworm Invasion—Breeding Better Plants with Natural Diversity
DESCRIPTION:BTI will present at the Cornell Science Sampler Series\, hosted by the Cornell Center for Materials Research. This day-long workshop for middle and high school educators is a collaborative effort to provide teacher professional development in the areas of science\, technology\, engineering\, and math. \nWorkshop Description \nFarmers across the globe rely on pesticides to protect crop yield from insects\, yet natural genetic diversity and plant breeding could help reduce this need. \nIn this workshop\, teachers will learn about the latest research in plant responses to insect damage\, and how a citizen science classroom lab activity can be used to explore plant-insect interactions\, biodiversity\, plant breeding\, research methods\, and more. Plant scientists would like to identify varieties of corn that can withstand damage from the Beet Armyworm (Spodoptera exigua)\, a major agricultural pest for many crops\, better than other varieties\, and are working to understand how this occurs. Because of a high degree of diversity within the corn species\, there is potential for traditional or genetic breeding to produce varieties with natural resistance to insect damage. Disruptions in climate patterns could increase the range of pests like the Beet Armyworm\, making now an important time to be collecting data about natural resistance. \nBeet Armyworm Invasion – Curriculum Resources \nFind out more: http://www.ccmr.cornell.edu/education/teacher-programs/cornell-stem-workshop/

SUMMARY:Weeds: Untamed Wonders
DESCRIPTION:Grecian foxglove\, a piece by Elizabeth Morales. \nArt@BTI presents Weeds: Untamed Wonder\, a collection by the Finger Lakes Guild of Natural Science Illustrators. \nThe natural science artists have selected their favorite weeds of the northeast to render in beautiful illustrations. Their exhibit will explain what makes a plant a “weed” and will give information on how to distinguish between local weeds and invasive plants. The collection includes 20 pieces from 15 illustrators from around the Finger Lakes. \nThe exhibit is currently open during business hours and is free and open to the public. \nBTI will also host a reception in early April where participating artists will discuss their inspiration for their work with the public. \n  \nArt@BTI is made possible by Tompkins Trust Company\, with additional support from Hancock Estabrook\, LLC and Cayuga Landscaping.

SUMMARY:Monday Morning Seminar: Carmen Catala and Philippe Nicolas
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, October 23rd at 9am\nPlease join BTI for a presentation by Carmen Catala (BTI Senior Research Associate) and Philippe Nicolas (Catala Lab member\, postdoctoral scientist). \nResearch in the Catala lab focuses on the molecular regulation of fruit formation and early development using tomato as a model system. They use molecular and genetic techniques to investigate the complex interplay of gene expression changes\, signaling events\, and hormonal activity\, controlling fruit development. The lab also studies the effect of drought stress\, an increasing problem in crop production\, on tomato fruit set and growth. \nThese seminars are part of the BTI Monday Morning Seminar Series which occurs bi-weekly. \n

SUMMARY:"Food Evolution" Screening and Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, October 25th at 7:00pm at Cinemapolis\nJoin scientists from Cornell University and the Boyce Thompson Institute (BTI) for a viewing and discussion of the recently-released documentary Food Evolution. Following the film\, scientists\, including two who were featured in the film\, will engage in a moderated panel discussion and field questions from the audience. The panel will include: \n\nGeorg Jander: BTI Faculty\, Adjunct Professor (Plant Biology section)\, Cornell University School of Integrative Plant Science\nClet Masiga: Conservation Biologist and Geneticist\, Tropical Institute of Development Innovations (TRIDI)\nAlison van Eeneneenaam: Cooperative Extension Specialist\, Animal Genomics and Biotechnology\, Department of Animal Science\, UC Davis (featured in film)\nPatricia Nanteza: Science Communications Specialist\, National Agriculture Research Laboratories (NARL Uganda) (featured in film)\n\n  \nAbout Food Evolution: “From Academy Award®-nominated director Scott Hamilton Kennedy and narrated by esteemed science communicator Neil deGrasse Tyson\, Food Evolution is set amidst a brutally polarized debate marked by fear\, distrust and confusion: the controversy surrounding GMOs and food. Traveling from Hawaiian papaya groves\, to banana farms in Uganda to the cornfields of Iowa\, Food Evolution wrestles with the emotions and the evidence driving one of the most heated arguments of our time.” \nTickets available for purchase at cinemapolis.org. \nCo-presented by BTI and the Cornell Alliance for Science.
