SUMMARY:Insect Focus Group
DESCRIPTION:Your Host:  Don Wales \nTopic:  Introduction to Insects and Primitive Insect Orders \nAfter at least ten years of Flower Focus\, thank you Eileen Ford\, we are making a temporary shift to Insect Focus\, beginning on March 21\, 2018 through to the end of 2018\, and maybe beyond\, depending on the response.  \nI have wanted to do something like this since I retired in 2008. I still retain extensive resources from my days of teaching Entomology in the Biological Technology Program at the Red Deer College (RDC). I am hopeful that I still have access to the insect collections and related resources at the RDC. I graduated with a BSc in Entomology in 1967 and have forgotten more than I ever knew\, since then. But\, not to worry\, the focus is less on the highly specialized area of insect taxonomy and more on the natural history of the insects and\, in many cases\, their relationship with wildflowers. \nAll this will be sprinkled with pointless stories about experiences I have had in the field of Entomology. So\, if you share my fascination with the world of insects join us for Insect Focus!    \n

Saurornitholestes langstoni \nSaurornitholestes langstoni\, about the size of a German Shepard dog\, made big waves as a small dinosaur when it was discovered in 2014 at Alberta’s Dinosaur Provincial Park. Excavated by University of Alberta Palaeontologists\, the 75 million year old skeleton is the most intact version of a small meat-eating dinosaur ever found in Canada and the only complete specimen known in the world. The specimen\, part of the Laboratory for Vertebrate Palaeontology\, is on loan to Japan’s National Museum of Science and Technology where U of A Scientists will continue to unearth its secrets. \nDr. Philip J. Currie is a Professor and Canada Research Chair at the University of Alberta in the Department of Biological Sciences. He is the former Curator of Dinosaurs at the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology. He has a PhD from McGill University and received honorary degrees from the Universities of Calgary (2008) and British Columbia (2015). He has published more than 225 scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals\, another 50 scientific papers in conference volumes and books\, 158 popular articles and 20 books focusing on the growth and variation of extinct reptiles\, anatomy and relationships of carnivorous dinosaurs and the origin of birds. He has given hundreds of popular and scientific lectures on dinosaurs all over the world. He has received many awards and most recently in 2017 he received The Romer–Simpson Medal. The highest award issued by the Society of Vertebrate Palaeontology for “sustained and outstanding scholarly excellence and service to the discipline of vertebrate palaeontology”. Also involved in the development of University of Alberta’s first massive open online course (MOOC) called DINO101 which premiered September 2013 and more than 100\,000 students worldwide have taken.
