The event was called She’s A Scientist! It’s a Girl Scout event that the museum hosts every year. This year, Sharon, Michelle, and I created a table…[Read more]

- a literature review of pop up events (each person will bring a paper)

7 years, 5 months ago7 years, 5 months agoAnyone interested in a graduate seminar on developing a virtual exhibit? I’m at the iDigBio summit and am inspired to think about doing this.

I am!

That sounds interesting. What would the seminar actually entail though? Would we be developing an exhibit or discussing how virtual exhibits are made or … ? Let’s talk about it in class next week!

@bmacfadden @vperez it would be fun to learn how make one!

7 years, 5 months ago7 years, 5 months agoI can meet. I have my slides prepared for that conference I’m going to tomorrow, but haven’t practiced much yet.
We could discuss/brainstorm how we want to start the process with evaluating pop-up events so we can present Darcy et al. with a plan?
Or we can discuss other things!

Awesome tip @cgrant – I didn’t know about this! As FLMNH employees, do we have access/membership to other associations in addition to AAM? Even if we don’t, do you think there are some organizations we should absolutely be a part of, even as students?
@llundgren I agree! @bmacfadden can we add this topic to today’s discussion?

@michelle-barboza Michelle, I find AAM very informative and rewarding. I don’t have another membership, although If I lived in CA I would have Monterrey Bay Acq and CalAcademy. There is one that I used to have and that is Museums and the Web. It highlights how museums are doing digital and virtual and how that compares with an actual visit in…[Read more]

I’d be happy to present on this. I read a very thought-provoking paper that changed the way I thought and felt about authorship a few weeks ago that I would like to discuss in more detail. I will be out of town on 11/2 and 11/16, but any other date will work.-
