Dr. Alex Herman, Vice President of Veterinary Services

We take pride in doing our part to help rescue and protect animals in the wild, through our partnerships and collaboration with CDFW, Bay Area Puma Project, and the San Francisco Police Department

OAKLAND. Calif. (PRWEB)
May 20, 2021

Oakland Zoo assisted with the rescue of a two-year-old male mountain lion found in San Francisco this morning by California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CADFW) officers. He was transported to Oakland Zoo for a temporary stay while receiving a complete exam, bloodwork, and preventative care vaccines.

Mr. Handsome, unofficially named by Oakland Zoo veterinary staff, was placed in a holding area of the Zoo’s Veterinary Hospital overnight until examinations this morning. He was determined to have a total bill of health- strong, hydrated, and at a healthy weight of 98.5 lbs. He was treated for internal and external parasites (common in wildlife) and given vaccinations during his exam.

‘Long-range travel’ into urban neighborhoods isn’t out of the ordinary for mountain lions of this age. Mountain lions are long-ranging species known to exhibit ‘dispersing behavior’, causing them to travel long distances searching for food, good homes, and mates.

“We take pride in doing our part to help rescue and protect animals in the wild, through our partnerships and collaboration with CDFW, Bay Area Puma Project, and the San Francisco Police Department” says Dr. Herman, Vice President of Veterinary Services at Oakland Zoo.

Mr. Handsome is currently on his way to be released in a rural, unpopulated area of Santa Clara County by CDFW, to continue living freely in the wild.

Mountain lions face numerous threats in California, often struck by cars, killed with depredation permits, and illegal poaching. These factors culminate in the human-wildlife conflict, putting them at odds with humans, encroaching urban areas and developments. Oakland Zoo partners with conservation organizations like the Mountain Lion Foundation and the Bay Area Puma Project to educate the public on the issue and help conserve the species in the wild.

Oakland Zoo helped found BACAT (Bay Area Cougar Action Team) in 2013, an alliance with the Bay Area Puma Project and the Mountain Lion Foundation, to help support the CADFW to save mountain lions caught in the human-wildlife conflict.

• Tennessee Aquarium Senior Educator Julie Gregory trains a Southern Flying Squirrel an activity that can be seen during an episode of “Science Streams.”

“These videos not only help students explore science topics, but we also make a point to show the many STEM careers that go into running an Aquarium.” – Dr. Brooke Gorman, the Tennessee Aquarium’s director of science education

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (PRWEB)
May 06, 2021

For nearly three decades, the Tennessee Aquarium’s world-class living collection has sparked the curiosity and wonder of millions of visiting school children. Even as the global pandemic slowly recedes, however, many schools have placed field trips in indefinite timeout.

At the moment, many students are unable to see the Aquarium firsthand and experience the wonder and connection it offers with the natural world, but nothing says the Aquarium can’t come to them.

For almost a year, the Aquarium has sought a way to leverage its award-winning education department to augment the efforts of classroom-bound teachers. Soon, that effort will bear new fruit with Science Streams, a professionally produced, free series of eight videos crafted to meet national science standards for students in kindergarten through 12th grade.

By offering this polished, engaging content to teachers, Aquarium educators hope to reconnect with and inspire classrooms around the nation that would be thrilled — under different circumstances — to experience, in person, the wonders of life above and below the surface, says Dr. Brooke Gorman, the Aquarium’s director of science education.

“The Tennessee Aquarium is such an amazing and special place that we would love for all teachers and students to have a chance to visit. But we know that is not possible for so many reasons,” Gorman says. “We see this video series as a way to help students experience standards in a different way than they might otherwise. The videos not only help students explore a topic, but we make a point to show the many careers that go into running an Aquarium.”

Science Streams was produced in collaboration with filmmakers at Chattanooga-based Atomic Films and was funded by grants from Tennessee American Water and BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee.

“Tennessee American Water is excited to support the Tennessee Aquarium’s innovative project to provide teachers and students access to videos aligned with science curriculum,” says Tennessee American Water External Affairs Manager Daphne Kirksey. “We hope that the materials spur interest in science-related careers as well as general care for our environment.”

The creation of a new tool to aid teachers will help amplify the reach of an institution that has already enriched the lives of generations of students, says Chelsea Johnson, director of the BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee Foundation.

“The Tennessee Aquarium is a centerpiece of downtown Chattanooga and an invaluable educational resource for this community,” Johnson says. “The BlueCross Foundation knows the past year has been challenging for the Aquarium, as well as area students and teachers. We are excited to support the Science Streams program so local schools have a new way to experience – and learn from – the Aquarium, now and in the future.”

The support of Tennessee American and BlueCross BlueShield helped to drastically increase the potential for Science Streams to reach teachers in need throughout the country.

“Our original plan was to make the series freely available to Title I schools and to charge a small fee for other schools,” Gorman says. “We are thrilled to have received enough support to be able to make the videos free to all teachers.”

In each video, Aquarium staff members lead discussions of and walk students through activities on a wide range of age-appropriate scientific topics, including:

• 
  What animals need to survive (kindergarten)
• How plants grow and flourish (1st grade)
• The water cycle (2nd grade)
• Survival through adaptation (3rd grade)
• Invasive species and reintroduction efforts (4th grade)
• Natural instinct versus learned behavior (5th grade)
• Ecological relationships (6th-8th grade)
• The science of studying animal behavior (9th-12th grade)

In addition to walking students through the ins and outs of photosynthesis and breaking down the problem posed by invasive species, Science Streams also includes a suite of 10 behind-the-scenes videos. These pieces pull back the curtain to showcase many facets of life at the Aquarium, from conservation projects and diving to veterinary work and the care requirements for Giant Pacific Octopuses.

An exclusive link to view these videos and access accompanying educator guides will be made available for free to educators who register online. After submitting an online registration form, teachers will be emailed individual login information within two business days providing them access to all 18 videos.

YORBA LINDA, Calif. (PRWEB)
April 29, 2021

Labroots, the leading scientific social networking website, offering premier, interactive virtual events and webinars, is pleased to bring its Forensic Sciences virtual event hosted on May 5th, to a global audience of forensic experts, research scholars, toxicology and healthcare professionals, top scientists, and leading academic institutions, while marking its 3rd consecutive year.

The comprehensive agenda will explore the latest developments in forensic research from evidence to testimony, challenges in forensic research, forensic genealogy, the application of analytical methods, and timely insights into the COVID-19 impact on Forensic Science.

Attendees will also learn from distinguished speakers sharing informative findings in forensic pathology, from crime scene to courtroom: evidence to testimony, decomposition odor research and the impact of COVD-19 on studies, identification and interpretation of fly pattern evidence at crime scenes, the opioid crisis – challenges for forensic toxicologists, leveraging bioinformatic resources to better tackle DNA profiles, combining morphological and chemical identification for the interrogation of forensic traces, ionization analysis to aid the forensic chemist, and microbiomes after death all rounding out the educational discussions throughout the day.

The program kicks off with a keynote delivery titled, ‘Forensic Genetic Genealogy, a Revolutionary New Tool for Solving Cold Cases,’ presented by Dr. Colleen Fitzpatrick, Founder of Identifinders International. Dr. Fitzpatrick, widely recognized as the founder of modern forensic genealogy, and who pioneered the use of genetic genealogy on cold cases spanning decades, will share her extensive background and expertise explaining the development of genetic genealogy as a forensic tool, the basic forensic genetic genealogy identification methodology, and review practical case studies.

“Forensic genetic genealogy (FGG) has demonstrated itself as a powerful tool for cold case work, arguably the most important development in human identification since the introduction of CODIS in the early 1990s,” states Dr. Colleen Fitzpatrick, Founder of Identifinders International. “While the 2018 identification of the Golden State Killer using FGG was the event that caught the world’s attention, FGG had already been successful for generating forensic intelligence and solving cold cases for nearly a decade. Yet there are concerns about the use of FGG by law enforcement. Unlike conventional forensic identification methods, FGG depends on crowd-sourced data that originates from commercial Direct-to-Consumer DNA testing companies. This has raised concerns over privacy versus public safety. During the Labroots conference, we will discuss how FGG has developed as an exciting new tool in the forensic toolbox, along with simple case studies that illustrate how FGG is being used to solve what were thought to be intractable cases sometimes decades old.”

Following, Dr. Henry C. Lee, one of the world’s foremost forensic scientists whose work has made him a landmark in criminal investigations and bringing decades of remarkable expertise in some of the most challenging cases over 50 years, will deliver a keynote talk discussing forensic evidence; from scene to lab to court.

“We are excited to lead the scientific community in the discussion of current advancements in the field of forensic sciences, while offering our audience the continued opportunity to exchange ideas through collaboration,” said Greg Cruikshank, Chief Executive Officer at Labroots. “Our lineup of speakers in their respective fields, and hot topics represents fascinating research; and we’re delighted to explore the latest challenges and innovations at Forensic Sciences, 2021.”

Produced on Labroots’ robust platform, while connecting across all desktop and mobile devices, the interactive environment is complete with a lobby, auditorium, poster hall, and a networking lounge to offer participants an enriched learning experience. By attending this event, you can earn 1 Continuing Education Credit per presentation for a maximum of 30 credits.

Morel Habitat Kit Morel Mushrooms

Morels … Morels …. everywhere When Morel season came around this year … I looked and looked and did not see any, and was convinced it did not work.. Well yesterday , I was going to check to see if my asparagus patch was up, and BONUS ….MORELS EVERYWHERE. Carol B., Mid Michigan USA

SEBASTOPOL, Calif. (PRWEB)
April 20, 2021

Mother’s Day is the heart of morel season across much of the United States. In many of the more southern states, morels start to appear in March and Mother’s Day marks the last weekend of Morel hunting. Mother’s Day usually signals the beginning of morel hunting season in the northern tier of states.

The Morel Mushroom is know by many names: Morchella, Merkel, Morrel, Sponge Mushroom, Dry Land Fish, Pine Cone Mushroom, Molly Moochers, Hickory Chicks… but no matter what you call them, each spring avid morel hunters struck by morel madness drive and hike for hours to fields and forests across the United States in hopes of finding the elusive, tantalizing, and delicious morel mushroom. This year, think of Mother’s backyard. Gourmet Mushroom Product (GMHP) now offers Morel Habitat Kits so mothers can enjoy growing morels in their backyard and have a personal supply of fresh morel mushrooms: Morchella esculenta the “good to eat,” large, late season white morel. Morel Habitat morels have the same flavor and quality as morels found in the wild. The Morel Habitat can supply an individual with pounds of morel mushrooms in a garden area as small as 4 – 5 square feet. Grow the “good to eat” White Morel Mushroom Morchella esculenta. Complete instructions for preparing and maintaining your Morel Mushroom Kit® are included.

Morel Habitats are perennial and may be started on Mother’s Day or any time your soil is workable – Spring, Summer, Fall and even Winter (in areas with a mild climate). Morel Habitats may be started in any type of soil and have produced morel mushrooms in all areas of the United States that have a definite transition from winter to spring. GMHP provides spawn (seed) which contains unique morel strains to seed a backyard Morel Habitat which can produce pounds of morels each year in a properly maintained 4’ X 4’ area. Typically, only a few pounds of morel mushrooms are found the first spring it produces; the next year often provides the better crops, and crops may tend to vary in size in subsequent years. Customers have found morels in their Habitats 25 years after they were established!

All Components of GMHP Mushroom Kits are recyclable as are all materials used to pack & ship the kits. Gourmet Mushroom Products is Commitment to Social and Environmental Responsibility.

GMHP has been producing unique Morel Habitat Mushroom growing kits and other quality products to the public since 1989.
