        <description><![CDATA[From: Urban Science Adventures! © On Wednesday, March 10, 2010 at 10 am I humbly submit myself and the fruits of my intellectual endeavors to a body of critics.My research will be presented before a public body of critics (any and everyone who wants to show up and listen, namely the students and faculty of my science department, my friends and family and passer-bys in the hall) AND a private committee of professors who will question will me about the methods employed, results gathered and interpretations concluded before I can become apart of the illustrous clan of 'terminally-lettered scientists'. That's alot of fancy talk that basically means I've giving the most important school report presentation of my life so far.I've spent the last several years of my life doing my dissertation or doctorate level research. What exactly is research? For me it involved lots of reading, explaining things, handling animals, running experiments on those animals, presenting my results, re-designing experiements and running more experi]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: Urban Science Adventures! © I'm going to do something a little extra today - present a research paper to you. It's about a common urban species - Honey Bees; and the topic is related to what I study - individual differences in behavior.  Individual Variation in Pheromone Response Correlates with Reproductive Traits and Brain Gene Expression in Worker Honey Beesby: Sarah D. Kocher, Julien F. Ayroles, Eric A. Stone, Christina M. GrozingerStudy SummaryThe researchers examined a behavior in honey bees known to regulate the social behavior of the hive – the retinue response. Retinue response is the amount of time and attention worker bees pay to the queen because of a special pheromone or chemical she sends out. This chemical keeps the hive socially connected. In any group of animals, individuals will behave differently. Some worker responses have a very high retinue response – spending a lot time very close to the queen and picking up the pheromone; and some others have a very low retinue response. The authors se]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: Urban Science Adventures! © Welcome to the 7th edition of Diversity in Science Carnival. This also marks the one year anniversary of the carnival. This carnival is all about the people, institutions and ideas that work to broaden participation of all people in the STEM field via education, research, public outreach, and good vibes in general. Broadening Participation of African-American audiences at every age, every level and over time is the theme that unites all of the posts submitted to this carnival. Thank you to all of the contributors.Start them young!A lesson well-learned by many who are dedicated to broadening STEM appreciation to African-American audiences is to reach them when they are young. One of my newest bestest blog friends is Rue Mapp of Outdoor Afro and she does just that. In A Day of Service: Celebrating the Legacy of Dr. King, she recaps time spent on a rainy MLK day doing ecological restoration with her young children .She is definitely on the right track. Parents who provide positive STEM ex]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: Urban Science Adventures! © Yes, the long awaited, highly anticipated The Open Laboratory 2009 Edition is here!*trumpets blow and confetti bombs released*Yours truly can now say I have official publishing cred and is one heckuva of science blogger, too. I'm just saying. The book, yes - a for real, printed on paper, trees had to die, ISBN stamped paperback book is available for you all to purchase.Give the gift of science...literacy to one and all. And if you do, I am more than happy to sign your physical copy (if we meet in person).Proceeds of the book (beyond the cost of publishing, of course) will be contributed to funds for future ScienceOnline Meetings - the science blogging conference I attend.Buy a book, it's almost better than buying Girl Scout cookies....and you all know how much I love Girl Scouts and Girl Scout Cookies. There should be a sash for buying Open Laboratory 2009. (I wish I had Dr. Isis'&amp;nbsp;Photoshop skillz.) Watch your sashes. I've always wanted one of my own.]]></description>

        <title><![CDATA[The Black History Month Post I never wanted to write]]></title>
        <description><![CDATA[From: Urban Science Adventures! © In my entire college career, I have only had ONE (1) Black Biology Professor. As a soon-to-be Ph.D. in Biology, who hopes to one day teach college biology, I see myself as part of the Future Professoriate. It shouldn't be historic for one person to earn a Ph.D. in the Natural Sciences, but it certainly can feel that way. The numbers of Blacks (and other minorities) earning doctorates in the sciences and engineering are growing, but still comprise only 1-3% of the total Ph.D.s awarded in the United States. When I find a job, I feel pretty sure that there will be at least another woman in the department (but no guarantee), and maybe other persons of color. But I am not holding my breath that I'll have a Black colleague. The numbers just aren't there and the profile of the average college or university in the average science department reflect this fact.I can imagine how it must have felt for Dr. Ragland Davis and Dr. Johnson to be in the Biology Department at the University of Alabama-Hu]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: Urban Science Adventures! © The SnowPocalypse isn't all bad.  At least I was able to snap some really great animal tracks on my deck and in my back yard. Cat paw prints Notice the paw pads. Cats walk intheir own tracks, the back paws step into the same spot as the front paws, creating a single middle pad and 5 smaller pad impressions.This cat walked the length of my backyard from the back gate (where there is a small hole), past the red bucket to the deck. The snow is 6 inches deep at this point.Cats are still active, even in the cold weather.Paw print with the distinctive 4 toe pads.Has the SnowPacolypse revealed any animal tracks in your yard?]]></description>

        <title><![CDATA[Diversity in Science Carnival #6: Perspectives on STEM Diversity and Outreach from ScienceOnline2010]]></title>
        <description><![CDATA[From: Urban Science Adventures! © Originally conceived as a Science Blogging conference for science bloggers in the Research Triangle, North Carolina (because obviously that little piece of real estate is the center of the science universe) it has expanded into something more, something grand, something viral.  ScienceOnline is an international meeting of hearts, minds and modems of scientists, communicators, and students of all ages &amp; levels who have at least two things in common – Science and the Internet. I was scheduled to co-moderate a session about STEM Diversity, but was unable to attend for personal reasons (the dissertation). I was able to follow all of the proceedings online – which was the point of the entire conference: how to engage the public in science conversations using the internet. Many people think of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics as fields with too few women or people of color among the ranks. This is true for some fields and in some places. However, I can tell you that]]></description>

        <title><![CDATA[Open Laboratory: The Best Writing on Science Blogs 2009 Edition]]></title>
        <description><![CDATA[From: Urban Science Adventures! © With the decline of science journalism and just good science writing in traditional media altogether, someone hatched the idea to pluck out the best science writing online and put it into a printed book. In 2006, a community of science bloggers, many from the SEED sponsored collective known as ScienceBlogs put words to action and the first anthology of blog posts showcasing the quality and diversity of writing on science blogs was created and it was named Open Laboratory: The Best Writing on Science Blogs.I submitted two essays and one was selected by a panel of judges for Open Laboratory 2009, an anthology of the best science blogging for the year. Only 50 posts were selected per year and I am told it was a very competitive selection process, with an unprecedented 760 entries submitted this year. Whew, that was some very, very stiff competition and the selected works are amazing in range and topical diversity. I am indeed head-over-heels excited to have been selected, thanks Scicuriou]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: Urban Science Adventures! © Today, was a great day. It all started last week when I posted my New Year's Resolutions which included speaking and presenting more with my pending graduation. Later that day I recieved an email from the St. Louis Academy of Science Speaker Series Director. She said she had seen my Science Matters interview on the local PBS station and asked if I would speak at an upcoming event for middle schoolers. The program is called Green Your Future - a discussion about eco-related jobs. I spoke to the students about urban ecology.Urban  Ecology  HandoutView more documents from Danielle Lee.It was my very first time speaking to a general audience group on request. It was also the first time I gave my Urban Science Adventures! © schpeel to a live audience. The 7th graders from the St. Louis Public Schools were great.

        <description><![CDATA[From: Urban Science Adventures! © Chickory is an edible plant. In fact, it has been used as a coffee substitute for decades. I think the flower is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen.  Before moving to St. Louis, I can't recall ever seeing such a plant before down south.  Chickory can grow anywhere.  It is a hardy plant and very tolerant of poor soils.  In fact, this patch of Chickory flowers were growing out of asphalt from an old parking lot of a closed down factory in North St. Louis.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: Urban Science Adventures! © In kindergarten, I remember sitting in an assembly hall and learning about scouting.  I left that assembly and couldn’t stop talking about wanting to be a Girl Scout.  I wanted to wear that cute little outfit.  I wanted that sash with all of the embroidered and earth tone patches.  I saw myself cutely walking around school with my head tilted up, pig-tails flapping (with coordinated colored barrettes, of course), wearing that brown uniform.  I wanted to go camping and cook stuff outside and grow something and learn first aid.  I wanted the whole experience, outfit and all. I attended a couple of introductory meetings in elementary school, but never had the chance to join a troop.  However, I still learned lessons about citizenship, preparedness, safety, and even outdoor skills.  Some I learned from my mother and her colleagues. (She was a Parks &amp; Recreation worker who did youth and young adult activities, such as games, arts &amp; crafts, swimming, hiking etc. in the summer and a]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: Urban Science Adventures! © Happy New Year!I know I hae been posting less than regularly, but I assure that it is a good sign of my progress on my dissertation.  The only thing that remains to be written is the Discussion section of my last chapter.  All others have been written and handed in to my advisor to read.  I feel very confident and excited about how my advisor will receive the last chapter.  With each round of critiques from my lab mates and advisor on previous chapters, my remaining chapters are better written. My work space at the University library.  I have my papers sprawled all over and act like it's my personal desk. So now that a very important chapter of my life/career preparation is coming to a close, I need to think about my next steps.  It seems timely that this is happening at the beginning of a new year.  I’m already primed to make resolutions and lists of things I need to do.  1.       Defend the dissertation.

        <description><![CDATA[From: Negritude in America Tarzan met Jane, a US citizen, while studying entomology at Zamunda University in Bugstown New Jersey. They fell in love while dissecting insects and never spent a day apart since. They eventually tied the knot in a little chapel on the Arkansas border and it was time to play house. Tarzan now needed to adjust his status in order to be able to seek full time employment and provide for his family. In order to sponsor a family member’s immigration, a US citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident must sign a contractually binding Affidavit of Support from the US Department of Homeland Security’s Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Sponsors promise to provide basic support to immigrants they sponsor at 125 percent of the US poverty level. Without undertaking this obligation, USCIS will not grant Permanent Resident status (green card) to the foreign spouse. After a long fight in divorce court and a final verdict from the judge, Tarzan despite the financial support from Jane is unabl]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: Urban Science Adventures! © Let’s say you’re the parent/mentor/teacher/tutor/friend of a kid super-excited about some aspect of science, technology, engineering or math (STEM).  You want to nurture that interest and keep that child engaged, especially during the dull times of school breaks, after-school and perhaps even for school-related projects.   Whether you’re an educator or not, sometimes an adult needs reinforcements to help a child or teen find his/her own interest path.Fostering science, math, and engineering interests in young people is the goal of several organizations, including many of our nation’s publicly funded agencies like NASA and NSF.  Informal science education programs and institutions run the range.  Some supplement traditional K-12 education lessons.  Some provide opportunities for families to spend time together, learning, exploring, and having fun.  And still there are some that specifically target under-served audiences to introduce them to pioneers and exciting career opportuni]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: Urban Science Adventures! © Happy Holidays,Christmas is coming.  I would normally get all excited heading home to see my family and seeing friends to celebrate New Year's Eve, but I've been pre-occupied.  I am really cranking out the dissertation. That's why I've been a little quiet. My goal is the finish the whole thing by this Thursday, December 24th. Chapters one and two are done. These two chapters are the meatier of the manuscripts. Chapters three and four are lighter because I could not reject any of my hypotheses. That's not so bad, it happens sometimes. It just makes the discussion of the results short. There's not much to say, if not much happened. I need to write the Discussion for chapter 3. Chapter 4 is half done, just a little jumbled now. But I feel confident I can meet my deadline.So my first Christmas wish is to be highly productive and proficient.  I want to complete my manuscripts with no major over-hauls requested by my advisor or committee.Everything else is just sweet bonus, but these T-shirt]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: Negritude in America The Negro is a child, and with children nothing can be done without the use of authority.With regard to the Negroes then, I have coined the formula: I am your brother, it is true, but your elder brother.Missionary : Albert Schweiter, MDON THE EDGE OF PRIMEVAL FOREST, 1961.This was said by a Caucasian individual about the blacks; African-Americans today.African-Americans refer to one another as brother or sister. As an African, I have been greeted many many times by African-Americans with a "how are you brother ?". Such a warm greeting made me feel accepted by African-Americans, but after a decade in the US, I have learned to understand that African-Americans view a "brother" from Africa in a different light.

        <description><![CDATA[From: Urban Science Adventures! © Middle school and High School are the preparation grounds for your future. But what happens after you receive your diploma? Graduating from high school signals the end of your childhood and the beginning of your adult life. This means the start of your journey to independence, bills and responsibilities. Most adults don’t expect you to leave home and be self-sufficient immediately; but you do need to be ready to accept the challenge. It’s never too early to prepare for post-graduation (or too late).A post-high school education is your best plan for securing a stable future for yourself (Vo-Tech, Community college or university). For those of you interested in a career in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math (STEM), a college education will be order. However, funding a college education is no simple matter. Getting accepted in the school of your dreams is not the end of the story. Financing your education takes planning – the sooner the better. When parents ask me about how t]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: Urban Science Adventures! © Over Thanksgiving break I took my niece and younger cousin to the Racine Zoo. Zoos (and Botanical Gardens, too) are perfect places to introduce young people to ecology - animals, plants and how they interact and depend on each other to make the world go around. Little does she know, I'm preparing her for a lifetime of outdoor and science adventures. I've taken her to another zoo, so she was anticipating this visit. Like all children, she was excited to see the big animals and hear the big cats roar. I was also excited to take my younger cousin who definitely is a field biologist. The trip to the zoo was a mini-class about zoology. He was asked me so many questions about animals, it seemed as if he was hitting me with every curiosity he ever had and I was the first person he was able to an answer from. I delayed getting on the road to return home. My brother teased about how I do anything for the "kids interested in school and stuff". He's right. I am a sucker for the babies.

When we are living at a dependent level we are living for the expectation of others; such as keeping up with what everyone else is doing. Our standards are preset by what society expects of us. Power living simply put means that we live not according to the validation of others. When we are living at a Power Level, our expectations are genuinely defined and specific just for our own life purpose. Self-definition is what fires up our expectation.]]></description>

I have been personally fortunate, nay, blessed to have had an ample amount of funding for my graduate education and dissertation research.In this post I will share the funding resources I am familiar with that are designed to increase access to STEM to students from underrepresented groups.The National Science Foundation funds the Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) program. AGEP is a network of universities dedicated to increasing the number of underrepresented minorities obtaining graduate degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics by proving multi-year fellowships along with ample funds for research and attending conferences.

        <description><![CDATA[From: SeeingGrowth.com Proper preparation prevents poor performance, but we have to adjust to
those things that are unexpected and try to handle them with the same
expertise as the things that we have prepared for. Things rarely go the
exact way we plan, but that doesn't mean that all hope is lost.

AIBS is a scientific society of life science educators and researchers, K-12 teachers and college professors, dedicated to sharing biological discovery and knowledge. AIBS recognized and promoted the achievements of underrepresented minorities, including persons with disabilities, in the biological sciences.  The students are competitively selected to be part of the AIBS Diversity Scholars program.  This year, I was selected as the 2009 Diversity Scholar, the last one it seems. Though the Diversity Scholars Award has ended, AIBS continues to administer the AIBS Diversity Leadership Awards Program which recognizes institutional programs that recruit and retain underrepresented minorities in the biological sciences.  This is a bigger bang for the buck recognition.  Both of these programs are examples of STEM Diversity initiatives done right.  Long before the NSF mandates of Broader Impact –]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: SeeingGrowth.com It’s all about Character
 
Our tongue can spring forth honey or the sting of bees. Many times we speak without thinking. We give no thought to the importance of what we say and how we say it. Some of us will go out of our way to offend others with harsh words of criticism and judgment. However, we need to be aware of the inevitable visit from Karma. What goes around will surely come back to either sting us; or caress us with honey.

        <description><![CDATA[From: SeeingGrowth.com Most of us have taken steps forward in life and left behind memories of some times that we lived life at less than our best. Not only did we not meet our own expectations, we sometimes disappointed those that meant the most to us - including ourselves. We have overcome situations that became simple for us participate in, to grow beyond them into situations that are more challenging, frustrating, and demanding. It sometimes seems like everything that can go wrong does go wrong when we are doing things the right way and that it would be much easier to go back to living as we once did.

        <description><![CDATA[From: SeeingGrowth.com When we want to get a point across, it is always best to express ourselves clearly. We have to say exactly what we mean and we can’t change the meaning of our words when we are questioned about our statements. We have to stand behind our word, because it becomes our bond to those that receive it. Once a word leaves our mouth it becomes a part of history, and although history can be made, history can not be changed.
