项目摘要

The Training and Outreach Core We propose to create a new “Training and Outreach Core'' which will take advantage of the diverse scientific directions and technologies represented by our team, as well as the unique properties of the larval zebrafish as model organisms for outreach and training. The mission of this core is to increase diversity and support trainees in scientific research. This mission will be carried out by three interlaced programs - Summer Connectomics Internship for Outreach Neuroscience (SCION), BioBus, and Postbac Life Science Fellowship (PLSF). The SCION and PLSF programs integrate students with the U19 research projects and shape them into competent scientific contributors through an active learning framework. The two programs lower the barrier to science research by engaging underrepresented students who do not have research experience and who would otherwise not consider scientific research. SCION recruits motivated high school and college students as contributors to mapping the zebrafish nervous system, combining citizen science with education and career development. PLSF fellows will be primarily recruited from historically black colleges and universities, and will be trained and integrated within a U19 research project with high likelihood of publication. The program places emphasis on work experience and engages postbacs who want to pursue a profession in the life sciences, but lack laboratory experience. The BioBus program interfaces with the local K12 schools to engage middle and high school students with zebrafish neuroscience and to promote STEM education. It serves as a recruitment pipeline for SCION and for the training of postdocs and graduate students as Outreach Fellows. BioBus and SCION both provide frameworks for education and training of graduate students and postdocs in outreach, pedagogy, project management and public speaking. In turn, these pedagogical and mentorship experiences compel the postdocs and graduate students to regularly reevaluate their own research projects, becoming better scientists by teaching.

培训和外展核心我们建议创建一种新的“训练和外展核心”，以利用潜水员科学的优势我们团队代表的方向和技术以及幼虫斑马鱼的独特特性模型有机体进行外展和训练。该核心的使命是增加多样性和支持科学研究的学员。该任务将由三个交错的节目进行 - 夏季连接神经科学实习于外展神经科学（SCION），BIOBUS和POSTBAC LIFE SCICARY奖学金（PLSF）。 Scion和PLSF计划将学生与U19研究项目集成在一起，并塑造它们通过积极的学习框架进入竞争性的科学贡献者。这两个程序降低了障碍通过参与没有研究经验的代表性不足的学生，以及谁否则不会考虑科学研究。 Scion招募了高中和大学生的动机作为绘制斑马鱼神经系统的贡献者，将公民科学与教育和职业相结合发展。 PLSF研究员将从历史悠久的黑人学院和大学中招募，并将接受培训并集成在一个U19研究项目中，并具有很高的出版物。该程序位置强调工作经验并参与希望从事生活科学专业的邮报，但是缺乏实验室经验。 Biobus计划与当地的K12学校互动，以参与中间和具有斑马鱼神经科学的高中学生并促进STEM教育。它是招聘接班人的管道以及培训博士后和研究生作为外展研究员的培训。生物库和 Scion既可以为研究生和培训的教育和培训提供框架，教学法，项目管理和公开演讲。反过来，这些教学和精通经验强迫博士后和研究生定期重新评估自己的研究项目，成为通过教学更好的科学家。
