<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:black">MCB 181 Mentors Wanted</span></b><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span style="color:black">What</span></u><b><span style="color:black">:</span></b><span style="color:black"> The mentor will guide a small groups of students (~4) in identifying a topic, help them to develop a hypothesis, survey the
literature to collect scientific data that will help answer the hypothesis and aid in preparing a report of their findings. Mentors are encouraged to present topics of their interest unless they prefer that the students select the topics instead. We hope
this approach will encourage potential mentors to sign up because they can discuss topics that they are familiar with, which translates to less time to prepare for their meetings. However, if they prefer they can allow their students to select the topic.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:black"> </span></b><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span style="color:black">When</span></u><b><span style="color:black">:</span></b><span style="color:black"> Four weekly meetings of one hour each, weeks of March 24 to April 14. Listed below is the current class meeting time. Also,
if you cannot this time slot into your schedule, a meeting after 5 PM is usually a time slot available to most students. The students will present their results back to the MCB 181 honors classes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span style="color:black">Frequency</span></u><span style="color:black">: Meet once a week (and communicate by email or via ‘D2L groups’ as necessary). Mentors will be responsible for taking attendance and evaluating student participation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span style="color:black">Where</span></u><span style="color:black">: At a time and place mutually agreeable for the mentor and the students. In the past. we had some mentors from Arizona College of Medicine in Phoenix and the students
arranged a time and day to meet for a video conference via Skype. The student group met at one video conference site, one student provided the hardware for the conference (desk top, lab top or iPAD) with video capabilities and necessary software. Skype software
is free and use of the system is free. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span style="color:black">Why</span></u><b><span style="color:black">:</span></b><span style="color:black"> Great outreach experience, opportunity to develop leadership and mentoring skills and serve as a role model for young, enthusiastic
students. Gain the enduring gratitude of the 181H instructors and make professional relationships that will continue past the semester deadline.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span style="color:black">How to get involved</span></u><b><span style="color:black">:</span></b><span style="color:black"> Send the following information to Vince Guerriero (email:

Time: T, TH 9:30 - 10:45 am Credits: 3<br>
Instructor: Steve Archer<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Ecosystems comprised of co-occurring herbaceous and woody plants form a continuum between grasslands with little woody vegetation and forests with nearly complete coverage of woody plants. These systems, variously
referred to as savannas, shrublands, parklands, and woodlands, represent a substantial portion of the terrestrial biosphere. This course examines how woody and herbaceous life forms in such systems interact; how their interactions are influenced by climate,
soils, and disturbances such as herbivory (e.g., grazing, browsing) and fire; and how changes in the relative abundance of grasses, shrubs and trees affect ecosystem processes and wildlife habitat. The concepts and principles covered in this class will be
broadly applicable to the conservation and progressive management of dryland ecosystems characterized by dynamic mixtures of herbaceous and woody vegetation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

colleagues at Western Michigan University (WMU), we will develop and test a series of hypotheses using metadata-rich microbial meta-genetics (16s gene, 18s gene, nifH gene), phospholipid fatty acid, and biogeochemical data sets. Guest lectures will offer training
in specific informatics pipelines to highlight the strengths and limitations of each. This course will develop critical thinking, data analysis, and technical writing skills and offer mentoring and leadership opportunities. The second half of the semester
will focus on data analysis and writing with the goal of submitting manuscript(s) for peer review. Graduate and advanced undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds are welcome. Please address questions to:

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">The budding research facility, the Southwest Botanical Research, which is a private business, has had a vascular plant research garden in Chino Valley, Arizona for more than twenty years. Research
has been focused primarily on systematic and evolution of cacti. Two years ago, a four-acre parcel with a mobile home was purchased near the Ajo Hwy, about 18 miles WSW of the Arizona herbarium. This is a fairly secure areas and I have no problems with unwanted
intruders.. I would like someone interested in vascular plant, especially cacti, to live at the facility. There would be no rent in exchange for minimal amounts of effort; mostly watering the research garden during extended droughts and perhaps devising some
sort of shade structure for the mobile home. The occupants would be responsible for propane and electricity charges. Any person(s) interested please contact Marc Baker at 928-713-7009.
