SUMMARY:Science In Our Valley: Natural Enemies of X-Disease Vectors
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 \nNatural Enemies of X-Disease Vectors\n\nPresented by César Alejandro Reyes Corral\, Entomology PhD Candidate at Washington State University \n\n\nIncreasing global trade and climate change make it easier for harmful pests to spread\, putting agriculture at risk. 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. Clock hours are available through the North Central Educational Service District for attending the series. \nDate & TimeWednesday\, November 64:00pm – 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 >

SUMMARY:The Brain's CEO: Teaching Students to Manage their Executive Functions
DESCRIPTION:OverviewThis session is designed to help educators understand how executive functioning impacts a student’s ability to manage emotions\, plan\, organize\, manage time\, and complete tasks needed to be successful in school. We will explore different areas of executive functioning\, the typical ages and stages at which these skills emerge\, and the impact of ADHD on these skills. Throughout the session\, we will offer practical\, universal strategies that can be integrated into classroom routines and activities to enhance executive functioning and facilitate independence. While these strategies may be especially useful for students with executive functioning challenges\, they benefit all students! \nA 30-minute lunch will be provided. \nDate & TimeTuesday\, November 129:00am – 3:00pm \nLocationNorth Central ESD\n430 Olds Station Road\, Wenatchee WA 98801 \nRegistration PriceFree \nClock Hours5.5 Clock Hours Available for Purchase \nRegister via pdEnrollerBack to events calendar >
