Looking to up your insect photography game? Join us for a 90 minute webinar with advice and tips for mastering the art of insect macrophotography. Insect photography experts will share their know-how on equipment, technique, and composition to help you get better insect shots—whether for your own use or for contribution to an ESA publication.

Join Carly Tribull and Michael Skvarla as they present some of the challenges and potential solutions for teaching a collection-based entomology class mostly isolated from students.

Dr. Laramy Enders (UNL) and Dr. Sarah Zukoff (KSU) outline the many ingredients required to deliver a truly great scientific presentation. In the first half, Laramy focuses on the dos and don’ts of presenting at an annual meeting such as ESA’s, Entomology 2015. In the second half, Sarah focuses on presenting to the public in an extension capacity. Combined, they offer valuable advice for entomologists and scientists in any stage of their career.

Webinar attendees will develop intuition for how best to visualize their data (e.g., optimal chart types and color schemes), will learn about novel visualization strategies that can be adapted for scientific data, and will gain familiarity with software that will allow them to generate scientific figures both through writing code and through point-and-click interfaces that require no programming knowledge.

How can teachers and educators use entomology research to communicate important scientific concepts? Using papers published in Insect Systematics and Diversity, a group of panelists will discuss how their research can be used in a classroom to teach key concepts and methods, from ecology and conservation to evolution and taxonomy.
