项目摘要
Support will enable participation of 24 graduate students at the World Summit on Evolution in the Galapagos, June 9-12, 2005. This conference will be held on Ecuador's Galapagos archipelago, the islands that helped spark Darwin's revolutionary ideas that changed how we view the Earth's biota. Through a series of presentations and discussions, outstanding leaders in evolutionary science will address major questions, including: What is the evidence for the theory of evolution? How has each field and their respective approaches deepened our understanding? And where are the future horizons? Bringing together international experts and students for debate in this supremely special location will help answer these questions and hopefully lead to decisions that will shape the direction of evolutionary science in the foreseeable future.The Universidad San Francisco de Quito (USFQ) is hosting this conference to celebrate the opening of its Galapagos Academic Institute for the Arts and Sciences (GAIAS), and to further its academic mission and the promotion of conservation of the Islands. Discussion and debate is expected to be lively.Graduate student participation is vital to this World Summit on Evolution, because their inclusion will add further intellectual as well as cultural diversity to the views and opinions expressed throughout the conference. Because the sessions are uniquely focused on facilitated debates rather than lectures, graduate students will be able to participate directly in the conference.The Summit is one part of a larger program to teach and encourage understanding of evolution in Ecuador and in other Latin American countries. Because evolution is not a topic that is generally included in secondary school curricula, an important impact of the Summit will be to develop a series of programs and events designed to promote the understanding of evolution among high school students and the general public. These events will include talks and discussions, to be held in three of Ecuador's largest cities, and will present science and evolution in an easy-to-understand level during the academic year. It is estimated that this outreach program will attract about 5,000 students and 1,500 from the general public in Ecuador alone, and will potentially reach thousands more via virtual links. Presentations focusing on several evolutionary themes will be made by Ecuadorian scientists and selected international speakers.The contents of these presentations and from the Summit will be used by faculty from USFQ to prepare a textbook on evolution at the high school level. This book will be published in Spanish for use throughout Latin America. Additionally, USFQ is organizing other academic activities such as a high school essay contest that will focus on evolutionary topics. The momentum generated by this conference will help to further the scientific literacy of Ecuadorian high school students. Students will be exposed to the main concepts of current evolutionary science to gain a better appreciation of the importance of preserving the Galapagos Islands for future generations, the results of which are expected to inspire a new generation of Latin American scientists.
这项支持将使24名研究生能够参加2005年6月9日至12日在加拉帕戈斯群岛举行的世界进化论首脑会议。这次会议将在厄瓜多尔的加拉帕戈斯群岛举行,正是这些岛屿激发了达尔文的革命性思想,改变了我们对地球生物群的看法。通过一系列的演讲和讨论,进化科学领域的杰出领袖将解决一些主要问题,包括:进化论的证据是什么?每个领域及其各自的方法如何加深了我们的理解?未来的地平线在哪里?将国际专家和学生聚集在这个极其特殊的地方进行辩论,将有助于回答这些问题,并有望在可预见的未来产生影响进化科学方向的决定。基多旧金山大学(USFQ)主办此次会议,以庆祝其加拉帕戈斯艺术与科学学术研究所(GAIAS)的成立,并进一步推进其学术使命和促进群岛保护。讨论和辩论预计将是活跃的。研究生的参与对这次世界进化论首脑会议至关重要,因为他们的参与将进一步增加整个会议所表达的观点和意见的知识和文化多样性。由于会议的重点是促进辩论而不是讲座,研究生将能够直接参与会议。这次峰会是在厄瓜多尔和其他拉丁美洲国家教授和鼓励理解进化论的一个更大项目的一部分。由于进化论并不是一个通常被包括在中学课程中的话题,这次峰会的一个重要影响将是制定一系列旨在促进高中生和公众对进化论的理解的项目和活动。这些活动将包括讲座和讨论,将在厄瓜多尔三个最大的城市举行,并将在学年期间以易于理解的方式介绍科学和进化。据估计,这项外展计划仅在厄瓜多尔就将吸引约5,000名学生和1,500名普通民众,并可能通过虚拟链接接触数千人。厄瓜多尔科学家和选定的国际演讲者将集中讨论几个进化主题。这些演讲和峰会的内容将被USFQ的教师用来编写一本高中水平的进化论教科书。这本书将以西班牙语出版,供整个拉丁美洲使用。此外,USFQ正在组织其他学术活动,如以进化为主题的高中作文比赛。这次会议所产生的势头将有助于进一步提高厄瓜多尔高中生的科学素养。学生们将接触到当前进化科学的主要概念,以更好地理解为后代保护加拉帕戈斯群岛的重要性,其结果有望激励新一代拉丁美洲科学家。
