Resource of the Month
This month’s resource is the subject guide “Avoiding Plagiarism.” It includes a link to a very useful plagiarism tutorial that is a real revelation! Yes, it is plagiarism to reuse your previously published works. The key to avoiding plagiarism is cite, cite, cite. Because we know that as Newton said we are “standing on the shoulders of giants,” we understand that recognizing and acknowledging the work of others builds our reputation as partners in scientific endeavors. https://www.americanscientist.org/article/on-the-shoulders-of-giants

Friends of Sara Pace have set up a Go-Fund me to raise money to help alleviate the stress and loss of property due to a fire that destroyed her home during Hurricane Zeta.

Upcoming Virtual Science Cafe
"Wind, Wave and Water...
What is a Marsh Bird to do?"
|
|
Presenter:
Mark S. Woodrey, Ph.D., Assistant Research Professor/Coastal & Avian Ecologist, Mississippi State University – Coastal Research and Extension Center
|
|
Tidal marsh birds live a harsh environment. However, they are clearly adapted to living in marsh environments. We know little beyond infrequent anecdotal observations regarding how marsh birds respond to hurricanes. Given the record year for named tropical cyclones in the Gulf of Mexico, Dr. Woodrey's lab has analyzed historic monitoring data as well as conducted field surveys to determine immediate storm impact on marsh birds. |

Tuesday, November 24, 6:00 p.m. |

Sponsored by: Mississippi Alabama Sea Grant Consortium
