Evolution in a Vortex: Public Outreach on Freshwater Science in the Congo River

这项向公众传播研究（CRPA）的建议是基于Melanie Stiassny博士及其同事对刚果河下游动物群的分类学和生物多样性研究。 PI使用创新的水文模型，遥感，栖息地测绘和空间分析来探索和解释这个独特的河流系统的生物丰富性。 CRPA的请求将支持制作一部纪录短片，该短片将由美国自然历史博物馆的高清晰度视频当前科学节目Science Bulletins制作和发行。 该录像带将配有法文和西班牙文字幕，以便非洲的同事和美国各地讲西班牙文的学生都能看到。 此外，AMNH将主办PI介绍她的研究发现的公共计划。 这个现场节目将由纽约科学院通过他们的播客系列“科学与城市”重播。"

This Communicating Research to Public Audiences (CRPA) proposal is based upon Dr. Melanie Stiassny's and her associates' taxonomic and biodiversity research of the fauna in the lower Congo River. The PI has used innovative hydrologic modeling, remote sensing, habitat mapping and spatial analysis to explore and explain the biological richness of this unique river system. The CRPA request will support the production of a short documentary film that will be produced and distributed by the American Museum of Natural History's high definition video current science program Science Bulletins. The video will be captioned in both French and Spanish to make it accessible to colleagues in Africa and Spanish-speaking students throughout the United States. In addition, the AMNH will host the PI presenting a public program about her research discoveries. This live program will be rebroadcast by the New York Academy of Science via their podcast series "Science and the City."
