This Connecting Researchers and Public Audiences project will engage the public in understanding how species are born. The project builds on the PI's NSF-funded research on speciation and signal diversification in Monarcha Flycatchers of the Solomon Islands (NSF CAREER, #1137624). Project deliverables include a one-hour television program, website, and the use of social media. The team proposes to film an engaging tale that weaves historical research with modern molecular techniques to communicate to the public how new species are born. It will also illustrate the process of science and the people behind the research.The potential national audience is large, with a particular effort to reach 18-49 year olds. The program will be nationally distributed by one of the major television or cable channels. The website will provide a video gallery of short videos and photos, a blog from the field, and an in-depth learning section with new research about speciation. Evaluation of the project, conducted by Education Northwest, will focus on changes in audience knowledge and interest about speciation. The findings of the summative evaluation will be made available online at InformalScience.org.

这个连接研究人员和公众观众的项目将使公众了解物种是如何诞生的。 该项目建立在PI的NSF资助的物种形成和信号多样化的研究在所罗门群岛（NSF CAREER，#1137624）。 项目交付成果包括一个小时的电视节目、网站和社交媒体的使用。 该团队提议拍摄一部引人入胜的故事，将历史研究与现代分子技术结合起来，向公众传达新物种是如何诞生的。 它还将说明科学的进程和研究背后的人。潜在的全国观众很大，特别是努力达到18-49奥尔兹。 该节目将通过一个主要的电视或有线电视频道在全国范围内发行。 该网站将提供一个短视频和照片的视频库，一个来自该领域的博客，以及一个关于物种形成新研究的深入学习部分。该项目的评估，由教育西北，将重点放在观众的知识和兴趣的变化有关物种形成。 总结性评价的结果将在InformalScience.org网站上公布。
