SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting: Janet Kahng and Peggy Luk
DESCRIPTION:SuperBloom Initiative: Creative Conservation \nA talk about meeting people where they are at and how creativity plays a role in conservation.  \nJanet is a Senior Designer at the Walt Disney Company\, focused on storytelling and branded spatial experiences. Nevertheless\, her passion for science communication motivates her to pursue initiatives that revolve around environmental and scientific advocacy through design intervention. Having been a lifelong SoCal resident\, learning about native ecology and early interactions with native plants and bees have given her a sense of place and purpose\, which is feeling she wants to share with others through formative environmental storytelling. \nPeggy is a brand designer for the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games\, where she focused on creating work that reflects and is shaped by the community. Her path has been sparked by a desire to make design that is both visually compelling and meaningful. That same mindset led her to an interest in bees and ecology\, recognizing their essential role in sustaining the communities she cares about. \nTogether\, Janet and Peggy founded the SuperBloom Initiative\, where they focus on creative-led solutions to help reach wider audiences and highlight the important relationships between native plants\, pollinators\, and people. \nRegister for the Zoom meeting here. \nThis meeting will not be recorded\, catch Janet and Peggy live!

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting: Dr. Hollis Woodard
DESCRIPTION:Adventures in US Bee Conservation \nHollis is an Associate Professor of Entomology at the University of California\, Riverside and PI of the US National Native Bee Monitoring Research Coordination Network. She received a PhD in Biology in 2012 from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\, where she worked with Dr. Gene Robinson on the molecular basis of social evolution in bees. From 2013-2015 she was a USDA-NIFA Postdoctoral Fellow working on the nutritional ecology of bumble bees with Dr. Shalene Jha at the University of Texas at Austin. In summer 2015\, she joined the faculty at the University of California\, Riverside. She is broadly interested in native bee ecology\, evolution\, social behavior\, and conservation\, and is leading national efforts to conserve US wild bees. \nBee conservation in the US is currently hindered by challenges associated with assessing the status and trends of a diverse group of >3000 species\, many of which are rare\, endemic to small areas\, and/or exhibit high inter-annual variationin population size. Fundamental information about the distribution of most species across space and time\, thus\, is lacking yet urgently needed to assess population status\, guide conservation plans\, and prioritize actions among species and geographies.
