What has COSEE meant for our science and careers?

Oscar Schofield, Josh Kohut, Scott Glenn Allowing us to combine teaching, research, and service

We are excited & motivated to engage in education/outreach, we are limited by time and energy, as our job descriptions call for:
Teaching undergraduates Teaching graduates In short we feel overloaded Mentoring post-doctoral researchers Mentor junior faculty Writing manuscripts Writing grants Writing progress reports Reporting findings at professional meetings Foster science communication via seminars Deal with increase in regulatory burden Manage labs Plan field expeditions Produce Federal reports Partake in community management Talk to University donors Work on Department committees Work on University committees Work on State committees Work on Federal committees Work on International committees Informal census for three scientists yield a required work week of 140-150 hours (thus we have created Scotscar Kohut)

SERVICE

RESEARCH

TEACHING

COSEE NOW provides us a bridge to connect the professionals in science to the professionals in outreach to the professionals in education
COSEE provides tools that: L helps in nerd translation L provides a range of engagement possibilities that allow scientist to engage in the level they wish L Provides training to learn new modes to improve communication and content become part of a community in which to toss ideas around IN SHORT COSEE HELPS US IN TEACHING, RESEARCH AND OUTREACH

Do you use the Internet to search for information before going fishing? What type of information do you look for?

offshore for tuna and shark Use of Internet: 5 of 7 daily

Provide detailed SST imagery Provide links to other relevant data sources on the web Website interface Fishermen/woman:new data displays and tutorials Develop n = 7 Ages: all 45+ to explain their use Professions: varied Fish Improve data legends and displays at least weekly, mostly Data
visuaizations

Role of online ocean data to locate conditions where fish are likely to be?

The world is changing. The ocean changes are dramatic and will alter Earth as we know it, the impact on future generations is not known. By the time I finish my professional career .

U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon: Slowing or even reversing the existing trends of global warming is the defining challenge of our ages

Dr. R. K. Pachauri Chairman, IPCC:

Knowledge

1) How do we define what constitutes dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system?
Skills

2) How do we prepare the human race to face sea level rise & a world with new geographic features?
Behavior

3) What changes in lifestyles, behavior patterns and management practices are needed, and by when?

Outreach

We use COSEE NOW to expand into new media & technologies that would be daunting without partnership

4 part story of climate change & food webs: Technology and hopes to finding a new way to explore and solve problems

The current challenges and evolving nature of science will blur research, teaching and outreach. Not bringing our students and the public into our work will allow debate outside our nerd communities to be disconnected from our efforts.

COSEE is a force multiplier with tools that take advantage of modern social networking capabilities, skills, and assessment tools. COSEE helps scientists by improving teaching, improving research and improving outreach. COSEE makes our jobs easier. TO THE COSEE WORKERS, THANK YOU! WE SCIENTISTS-TEACHER-OUTREACH EXPERTS ARE NOT ALONE, WE ARE A TEAM
