Declines in native bee communities due to forces of global change have become an increasing public concern. Despite this heightened interest, there are few publicly available courses on native bees, and little understanding of how participants might benefit from such courses. In October of 2018 and 2019, we taught the ‘Native Bees of Texas’ course to the public at The University of Texas at Austin Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center botanical gardens in an active learning environment with slide-based presentations, printed photo-illustrated resources, and direct insect observations. In this study, we evaluated course efficacy and learning outcomes with a pre/post-course test, a survey, and open-ended feedback, focused on quality improvement findings. Overall, participants’ test scores increased significantly, from 60% to 87% correct answers in 2018 and from 64% to 87% in 2019, with greater post-course differences in ecological knowledge than in identification skills. Post-course, the mean of participants’ bee knowledge self-ratings was 4.56 on a five-point scale. The mean of participants’ ratings of the degree to which they attained the course learning objectives was 4.43 on a five-point scale. Assessment results provided evidence that the course enriched participants’ knowledge of native bee ecology and conservation and gave participants a basic foundation in bee identification. This highlights the utility of systematic course evaluations in public engagement efforts related to biodiversity conservation.

I am interested only in their content and significance.

AbstractThe “Science with SALT” meeting in March 1998 opened avenues of cooperation between SAAO and the University of Texas at Austin in education and public outreach. This paper will review past interactions and future plans. SAAO personnel have visited the HET and McDonald Observatory and have taken part in planning meetings for the Texas Astronomy Education Center museum area and educational programming. Discussions concerning the extension of the daily radio show StarDate (English), Universo (Spanish) and Sternzeit (German) versions to a southern hemisphere version are underway. In addition, we are cooperatively planning a workshop to discuss an international collaborative for educational outreach for state-of-the-art telescopes for which a regional collaborative in southwestern U.S. (SCOPE) serves as a model. The towns of Sutherland and Fort Davis are discussing forming a “twin-town” relationship. Projects and plans that link cutting-edge astronomical research to classrooms and the public will be reviewed.

IYCr2014 is a unique opportunity for increasing the public awareness about the importance of crystallography, and promoting educational awareness of crystallography. Explore UT is a campus-wide open house of the University of Texas at Austin campus for the central Texas community that attracts thousands of visitors to campus each spring, including many busloads of school children and their teachers. We describe our experience at a booth for this event of presenting a variety of educational and learning tools to illustrate the benefits to society of 100 years of crystallography and the significance of IYCr2014. The exhibit featured posters, computer stations with web links and software, experiments and movies on crystal growth, lessons on symmetry, optical transform demonstrations, graphics software, as well as a variety of molecular models including 3D printed molecular models. Teaching structure/function concepts in chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, pharmacy, biomedical engineering, etc. has always been a challenge due to the inherent importance of understanding the role of 3D structure in order to understand function. Most students find it easier to understand the concepts when they have access to molecular models. For protein molecules, the sheer size and number of atoms involved make assembling molecular models from atomic parts impractical. Advances in computers and availability of high quality computer graphics software for the display of molecular models has helped, but does not replace the benefit of being able to hold and examine a physical model. We describe our experience using 3D printing technology to generate molecular models for use in the classroom and research laboratories to improve learning of structural concepts.

The Relationship

In this article, I discuss an unusual Caddo bottle in the Walters Collection. This vessel came from either Smith or Wood counties, Texas. The design on the bottle appears to depict a deer body with a human head. My purpose is to look at the vessel in more depth, explore the relationship between Caddo people and deer, and make information about the vessel available to the public. Plans are in place to curate this vessel at the Texas Archeological Research Laboratory at The University of Texas at Austin.

Despite the death threats against schools of library and information science (LIS) that were rampant during the final decades of the twentieth century, LIS graduate programs are alive and well and have a promising prognosis for the twenty-first century. The challenge, however, is to adapt to the changing personae of the American university and the emerging roles of information professionals in all aspects of our society. Today’s university is less concerned with maintaining the strict boundaries of traditional disciplines and instead encourages thinking that is transdisciplinary. Although this new model respects the uniqueness of various subject areas, it celebrates collaboration . . .

To answer the question, one needs to consider whether special collections are any more special today than they have been in the past. The question has particularly intrigued me since I was asked to present a paper in November 1976 as part of the University of Texas at Austin Graduate School of Library Science Colloquium Series, to wit —“What’s So Special about Special Collections¿̣” My perspective was that of a university administrator with line responsibility for one of the great Latin American collections in the world, the most comprehensive collection of Texas-related materials in existence, very young area collections of . . .

Back in 1916 the world was in the midst of World War I. When I graduated from high school in that year, the United States had not entered the great struggle yet. In the fall of 1917, I, registered in the University of Texas. There was as much, if not more, uneasiness and uncertainty among students as there is today. We were already in the war. No one knew how long it would last, nor when the draft call would come.With the lightheartedness of youth I chose engineering. In high school I had been good in mathematics, and everybody had said, “You are cut out for an engineer.” Dean T. U. Taylor of the Engineering School agreed, and I made a good record that first year. Engineering students in those days had to take public speaking and the public speaking teacher assured me the first day I came into his class that I would never make a public speaker. Time proved that if Dean Taylor was mistaken in his deduction as to my engineering vocation, the public speaking teacher was only half right.
