Poster Abstract

Biodiversity scientists must be fluent across disciplines; possess quantitative, computational, and data skills for working with large, complex datasets; and have foundational skills and content knowledge from ecology, evolution, systematics and environmental science. As scientists and educators, we can embrace the changing landscape of biodiversity science and leverage the foundational skills that collections have fostered for centuries to help engage, inspire, and build the next generation of biodiversity scientists. Biodiversity Literacy in Undergraduate Education (BLUE) is a National Science Foundation Research Coordination Network focused on developing strategies and materials to infuse biodiversity data into the core of the undergraduate science curriculum, facilitating broad-scale adoption of biodiversity data literacy competencies, and improving undergraduate biology training to meet increasing workforce demands in data and biodiversity sciences.
