SUMMARY:Science In Our Valley: The influence of mechanical hedging and root pruning
DESCRIPTION:OverviewScientists and science educators in the Wenatchee Valley have been gathering for the past few years for weekly seminars to catalyze the development of an engaged regional scientific community. Each series features the research of local scientists and invited guest speakers. \nThis year’s events are held at the Washington State University Tree Fruit Research and Extension Center in Wenatchee\, and are open to the public. Join us for this great opportunity to learn about the incredible research in our own backyard. Prior registration is not required to attend these events. \nThis project is supported by a grant from Our Valley Our Future. Other supporters include: NCESD\, Apple STEM Network\, Washington State University\, The Bridge\, Wenatchee Valley College\, and USDA. \nClick here to subscribe to Science In Our Valley email updates \nThe influence of mechanical hedging and root pruning in tall spindle ‘Brak Fuji’ apple treesPresented by Thiago de Botton Campbell\, Graduate Student\, Washington State University \nCommercial apple orchards have recently been adopting hedging as an alternative\, or supplement\, to hand pruning. With rising labor costs across the United States\, alternatives to hand pruning and current training systems require consideration. One management strategy is the transition from a tall spindle tree training system to a narrow tree wall\, facilitating some worker-related aspects of apple tree production such as pruning\, harvesting\, and fruit thinning. \nAutomated fieldwork has become increasingly popular\, but how effective are these methods and what impacts do mechanical hedging and root pruning have on apple trees grown in a high-density orchard? This seminar will highlight some of the research investigating this at the Pennsylvania State University. \nView & Download Seminar Flyer > \nThe seminar presentations are intended for a ‘science-based’ audience\, including researchers\, postdoctoral scientists\, teachers\, graduate students\, undergraduate scientists\, and science enthusiasts. \nK-12 educators are also encouraged to attend the seminar series to learn about local career connections and research efforts that they can bring back to their students. Clock hours are available through the North Central Educational Service District for attending the series. \nDate & TimeWednesday\, February 1\n4:00pm – 5:00pm \nLocationWSU Tree Fruit Research & Extension Center\n1100 N Western Ave\, Wenatchee\, WA 98801 \nRegistration PriceFree \nClock Hours1 Clock Hours Available for Purchase \nClick here to register on pdEnroller for Clock Hours \nLEARN MOREBack to events calendar >

Over the years\, environmental and human health issues regarding the application of some of these chemical pesticides\, such as the presence of multi-drug resistant strains\, have arisen\, accelerating the modification of the pesticide regulations by many countries\, and creating a need for novel plant protection products. \nOver the past decades\, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have continuously been proposed as a potential tool to create sustainable pesticides and disease resistant crops. This talk will explore the possibilities of AMPs and their potential role in agriculture to achieve a more sustainable plant disease control. \nView & Download Seminar Flyer > \nThe seminar presentations are intended for a ‘science-based’ audience\, including researchers\, postdoctoral scientists\, teachers\, graduate students\, undergraduate scientists\, and science enthusiasts. \nK-12 educators are also encouraged to attend the seminar series to learn about local career connections and research efforts that they can bring back to their students.

For example\, ponderosa pine is found in relatively dryer warmer low-elevation sites\, cottonwood is found along moister riparian areas\, and lodgepole pine is found at higher elevations with relatively more winter snowpack. As climate changes\, some areas will become unsuitable for current tree species\, while other areas may become newly suitable. \nHow can the ongoing shifts in tree species be monitored to better understand the ways that forests are changing and predict what those changes mean for the forest? This presentation will discuss some of the methods used to better understand how forests are changing\, and the uncertainty around those changes. \nView & Download Seminar Flyer > \nThe seminar presentations are intended for a ‘science-based’ audience\, including researchers\, postdoctoral scientists\, teachers\, graduate students\, undergraduate scientists\, and science enthusiasts. \nK-12 educators are also encouraged to attend the seminar series to learn about local career connections and research efforts that they can bring back to their students.

SUMMARY:Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) Level 1 Training
DESCRIPTION:Overview**Training is subject to cancellation if there are not at least 25 people registered by December 1st\, 2022. \nThis intensive 13-hour interactive workshop is designed to teach educational and caregiver teams the theory and protocol for the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS)\, an evidence-based practice based on Applied Behavior Analysis\, typical language development\, and B.F. Skinner’s Verbal Behavior. \nThe workshop begins with an introduction to creating the most effective learning environment for implementing PECS via The Pyramid Approach to Education. Included is a discussion of the limitations of teaching other communication modalities (speech\, sign\, SGD) as an initial communication strategy. \nUsing presenter demonstrations\, role-play opportunities\, and video examples participants will gain a thorough understanding and hands-on experience of each of the six phases of PECS.Participants will leave the training with the skills necessary to teach spontaneous requesting\, picture discrimination\, sentence structure\, attributes for expanding language\, extended vocabulary\, responding to questions\, and commenting. \nThe workshop concludes with a review of the extensive literature supporting the PECS protocol as an evidence-based practice\, tips to teach your learner to accept being told\, “No\,” and information related to transitioning from PECS to other communication modalities\, such as speech\, tablets with AAC apps\, or speech generating devices. For those who wish to successfully teach their learners functional communication (whether you have used PECS for some time or are new to the field)\, this workshop is an essential part of your development. \nMaterials and handouts are all included in the registration fee. \nDate & TimeMonday\, February 27\n8:00am – 4:00pm \nTuesday\, February 28\n8:00am – 4:00pm \nLocationNorth Central ESD\n430 Olds Station Road\, Wenatchee WA 98801 \nRegistration Price$300 \nClock Hours13 Clock Hours Available for Purchase \nRegister via pdEnrollerBack to events calendar >
