One such threat in Washington State is the re-emergence of X-disease\, which is particularly dangerous to the Pacific Northwest’s tree fruit industry. This disease\, carried by tiny insects called leafhoppers\, causes cherry trees to produce small\, bitter\, and misshapen fruit\, making them unsellable. Farmers currently rely on controlling these leafhoppers with pesticides and removing infected trees\, but these methods come at a huge economic and environmental cost. The heavy use of pesticides\, especially after the fruit is harvested\, harms the environment and could weaken the health of farming ecosystems in the long run. This has created an urgent need for more sustainable pest management approaches. Our research focuses on finding a better way to control these pests by using nature itself. However\, very little is known about the natural enemies of these leafhoppers in Washington State. That’s where our study comes in. We’ve developed a new tool that can quickly identify the presence of the leafhoppers\, the X-disease pathogen\, and two potential pest-fighting insects—a big-headed fly and a pincer wasp—all in one test. This innovative approach combines modern molecular technology with traditional pest control methods\, offering a more effective and eco-friendly solution. While our strategy is aimed at helping the Pacific Northwest’s tree fruit industry right now\, it could also be adapted to tackle similar pest threats in other regions. \nView and Download Event Flyer > \n\n\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.

Ralph has determined that there are many glaciotectonic landforms on the northern Waterville Plateau. Many of the named hills and lakes in the area are glaciotectonic in origin. This new interpretation may add insight to the question of whether the giant floods that eroded Moses Coulee came from a glacially dammed lake east of Spokane (glacial Lake Missoula) or came from a reservoir of water trapped beneath the ice in the Okanogan Valley\, directly north of the Waterville Plateau.

We have adapted Dr. Hedy Kober’s regulation of craving training (ROC-T) intervention into a value aligned mobile phone app for rural teenage girls to improve consumption of fruits and vegetables. Rural populations have a 16% higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) compared to their suburban and urban counterparts. Improving diet\, particularly increasing fruit and vegetable consumption\, is a protective factor against developing T2D. However\, only 13.1% of Wyoming girls eat vegetables 3 times a day. Female adolescents tend to eat less fruits and vegetables compared to males\, and intake decreases with age. This is particularly concerning given T2D is more aggressive in adolescents and is 60% more prevalent in adolescent girls compared to boys. Craving unhealthy food is a noted barrier to healthy eating in adolescents. Personalized interventions\, such as the ROC-T\, can reducing cravings. ROC-T improves food choice through autonomous self-control and changing the value of the craved food. An effective approach to engage with adolescents is to use a value aligned intervention to relate food choice to values adolescents’ care about and build personal autonomy. The mobile regulation of craving training (mROC-Teens) combines the existing ROC-T intervention with value aligned messaging in an app to reach and engage with rural girls. In addition to the app\, we have designed a mobile health lab from a recreational vehicle (RV) trailer to perform baseline and follow up diabetes testing using point of care hemoglobin A1c and glucose testing. The presentation will give an overview of the development of the app and mobile testing lab\, rollout of the intervention\, and future directions. \nView and Download Event Flyer > \n\n\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:First Aid CPR/AED Training Course
DESCRIPTION:OverviewThe NCESD School Nurse Corps is partnering with the Chelan-Douglas County Health District to offer in person HSI First Aid/CPR-AED Training Course. Content of this course will include general first aid principals\, medical emergencies\, injury emergencies\, CPR for adults/children/infants and the proper use of AEDs. This all day course combines course curriculum and hands skills assessments. Certified instructors will provide instruction\, coaching\, and support to ensure participant competency and understanding. Participants who successfully complete the course will receive their First Aid/CPR card. \nParticipants will also take part in Stop the Bleed and Naloxone administration training. \nStop the Bleed: This is a course that teaches three quick techniques to stop blood loss from a wound or injury. Participants will learn how to control bleeding by using their hands to apply pressure\, how to pack a wound\, and how to apply a tourniquet. Participants will come away from the course with the ability to assist in an emergency and possibly save a life. \nNaloxone Administration: Participants will learn the signs of an opioid overdose and how to administer naloxone nasal spray. Naloxone can save the lives of those experiencing an opioid overdose by quickly restoring normal breathing. Prescription opioid medications\, heroin\, or drugs that are altered to contain fentanyl can cause an overdose during which a person is at risk of brain damage or even death due to dangerously slowed or stopped breathing. Knowing how to use Naloxone in such a situation and administering it even before emergency workers arrive increases the chances of survival. \nDate & TimeFriday\, October 188:00am – 3:30pm \nLocationNorth Central ESD\n430 Olds Station Road\, Wenatchee WA 98801 \nRegistration Price$75.00 \nClock Hours5.50 Clock Hours Available for Purchase \nRegister via pdEnrollerBack to events calendar >

SUMMARY:Science In Our Valley: Agronomic Strategies to Address Biennial Bearing in Apple Trees
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 series can be attended virtually or in-person. In-person 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\, WSU Tree Fruit Research & Extension Center\, Wenatchee Valley College\, and USDA Research Station. \nClick here to subscribe to Science In Our Valley email updates \nAgronomic Strategies to Address Biennial Bearing in Apple Trees\n\nPresented by Thiago Campbell\, Ph.D Candidate at Washington State University \n\n\nBiennial bearing in tree fruit can be problematic\, and these patterns are not unique to tree fruit and occur in natural species. Masting\, or the abundant production of seeds in some years\, can also be observed in natural tree species. Despite extensive research\, biennial bearing still affects commercial orchard production. Biennial bearing cycles are costly\, with inconsistent yields and fruit quality occurring yearly. Crop load management is one commonly used management strategy to control biennial bearing. However\, trees can continue a biennial cycle the year following adequate crop thinning. We evaluated six different agronomic strategies to combat biennial bearing in apple trees: two for low-cropping trees (“off” year) and four for high-cropping trees (“on” year). In 2023\, ‘Honeycrisp’ trees on B.9\, G.41\, G.890\, and M.9-T337 rootstocks in their high-cropping year were root pruned\, girdled\, sprayed with ethephon\, or fertilized with nitrogen (ammonium nitrate) in the fall\, along with untreated control. In their low-cropping year (2023)\, trees were defoliated and sprayed with gibberellic acid (GA3) and untreated control. Crop load\, vegetative growth\, and fruit quality were measured for treated trees and controls. Carryover effects of treatments were calculated to quantify the reduction/amelioration of biennial bearing incidence. Effective agronomic strategies for managing biennial bearing can be inconsistent and need further investigation into their impacts. \nView and Download Event Flyer > \n\n\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\, October 164:00pm – 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 >
