Michael Smith |
Congratulations to Michael Smith, a doctoral student in neurobiology and behavior, for his paper published in the March 11 issue of the journal PLoS One -experiments that help reveal how wild colonies endure mites and pathogens.
Without miticides used by beekeepers, managed colonies almost always die out within two or three years, often falling victim to mite-transmitted, wing-shriveling deformed wing virus (DWV). But miticides can contaminate honey and steady use can lead to resistance in mites.
The study reports that beekeepers can learn lessons from the ecology of wild colonies: their small nests and frequent swarming lead to lower varroa mite (Varroa destructor) infestations, less disease and better colony survival.

Effective Scientific Writing
Friday, April 8, 2016 at 12:00pm to
1:00am Clark Hall, 701
The ability to make your point clearly and succinctly is one of the most important skills researchers need to master, especially in today's world where the number of journal papers is exploding.
Your goal as a writer is to make sure the reader understands the main points in one quick glance or, even better, that he/she not only understands it but becomes sufficiently excited to continue reading your paper.
There are well known techniques on getting your message across to readers, even to those with a low attention span. Prof. Michal Lipson will describe these rules and show concrete examples of effective and less effective scientific writing.

Library Chats in the Stacks
BOOK
Book talk by Carl Ostendarp
Wednesday, April 6 at 5:00 pm
Sibley Hall, Room 115 W
Join us for a book talk with Carl Ostendarp, associate professor and director of graduate studies in the Department of Art. Ostendarp's installations employ wall sized murals of continuously painted two-tone drip shapes as a backdrop for museum and gallery collections of paintings, prints and sculptures which are intended to re-contextualize the exhibition space and to lead the viewer to a more impactful experience of art. In Book (Snoeck, July 6, 2015), Ostendarp re-creates the continuous-drip motif using the pages of the book as gallery walls, inviting viewers to project their own imagery while merging some of the visual foundations of Modernism; Pop, Color Field and Minimalism into his simple biomorphic forms.
Refreshments served. Cosponsored by the Fine Arts Library and the College of Architecture, Art, and Planning.
China on Strike: Narratives of Workers' Resistance
Book talk by Eli Friedman and Hao Ren
Thursday, April 7 at 4:30 pm
ILR Catherwood Library, Kheel Center, Room 227
Along with the rise of China's global economic power there has been a growing militancy among factory workers. In the Pearl River Delta region, China's manufacturing industrial heartland, migrant workers share their perspectives on the struggles they face to keep factories running. China on Strike, published by Haymarket Books in April 2016, contains first-hand accounts and uncensored narratives from a new generation of workers and activists. Join us for a book talk with authors Eli Friedman, assistant professor of International and Comparative Labor at Cornell University's ILR School, and Hao Ren.
This event is hosted by the ILR Catherwood Library.
Books available for purchase and signing at both events. For more information, visit https://www.library.cornell.edu/booktalks.
