Workshop Travel Support: Pribilof School District's "Bering Sea Days" and The Alutiiq Museum Fall Lecture Series

这一奖项是为了支持PI参加Pribilof学区的“白令海洋日”和Alutiiq博物馆秋季系列讲座。普里比洛夫学区(PSD)将于10月1日至4日在阿肯色州圣保罗举行第六届年度“白令海洋日”(BSD)教育外展活动。这个为期四天的研讨会旨在教育圣保罗和圣乔治学校的学生有关普里比洛夫群岛和白令海海洋生物的知识。圣保罗岛部落政府阿留申社区文化事务办公室已邀请PI参加今年的BSD。具体地说，PI计划花费大量时间研究骨骼的生长，以及考古学家和古生物学家如何使用生长模式来仅根据骨骼来确定动物的死亡年龄。在BSD之后，PI计划前往科迪亚克，在那里他被邀请发表演讲，详细介绍他过去几年一直在进行的考古研究。Alutiiq博物馆秋季系列讲座是一年一度的活动，专门为满足社区对共享关于科迪亚克文化、历史和环境的科学研究的需求而创建。该项目是对阿拉斯加原住民社区要求一名科学家参与他们社区的公共宣传和教育的请求的回应，并代表了该计划在NSF资助的研究中一直在推动的内容，即将科学信息返回收集数据的社区。

This award is to support the PI's participation in the Pribilof School Districts "Bering Sea Days" and The Alutiiq Museum Fall Lecture Series. The Pribilof School District (PSD) will be holding their 6th Annual "Bering Sea Days" (BSD) educational outreach event October 1-4 in St. Paul, AK. This four-day workshop is designed to educate the students of the St. Paul and St. George schools about the Pribilof Islands and Bering Sea marine life. The Office of Cultural Affairs for the Aleut Community of St. Paul Island Tribal Government, has invited the PI to participate in BSD this year. Specifically the PI plans to spend a significant amount of time on bone growth and how archaeologists and paleontologists use growth patterns to determine the age-at-death of animals based only on the bones. After BSD, the PI plans to travel to Kodiak, where he has been invited to present a lecture detailing the archaeological research that he has been conducting for the past several years. The Alutiiq Museum Fall Lecture Series is an annual event that was created specifically to address community demand for public sharing of scientific studies on Kodiak culture, history, and environment. This project is in response to the request by an Alaska Native community for the participation of a scientist in public outreach and education in their community and represents exactly what the Program has been promoting among NSF funded research, the return of scientific information to the communities in which the data was collected.
