Garmany Fund at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hfpg.org\/\">Hartford Foundation for Public Giving<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese resources made it possible for us to bring in scientists from farther away who could identify more species, and to gather an incredible amount of expertise in a single room,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>One of the experts was parasitologist and Board of Trustees Distinguished Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Janine Caira, who was also one of 35 professors, graduate students, and undergraduate students from UConn at the event.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNormally there are fewer scientists at a BioBlitz, and they don\u2019t usually include parasitologists,\u201d says Caira. \u201cIt was super fun. It\u2019s one of the only times when we can sit at our microscopes for 24 hours in a row \u2013 the more time we spend at our microscopes, the more species we find. And people don\u2019t disturb you for anything except to show you additional species!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Biodiversity education<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wagner says the event location and grant support also enabled organizers to develop a rich educational component of the BioBlitz.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSetting this BioBlitz within the city limits of East Hartford, rather than Connecticut\u2019s most pristine wild lands, allowed us to pursue a completely different paradigm that put primacy on education and outreach,\u201d he says. \u201cThat\u2019s what makes our record-setting number so impressive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A BioBlitz camp hosted 21 middle and high school students, who helped gather specimens and assisted scientists with the species count. The event included educational presentations and exhibits, such as a raptor show, live insect zoo, caterpillar lab, and other hands-on activities for kids.<\/p>\n<p>For Veronica Bueno, a Ph.D. student in Caira\u2019s parasitology lab and a first-time BioBlitz participant, the high point was engaging with some of these young scientists-in-training.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s nice about working with the kids is that, whatever you ask them to do, even just to hold something for you, it makes them feel like scientists and that they\u2019re part of something,\u201d says Bueno. \u201cWe see a lot of ourselves in these kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 2016 Connecticut BioBlitz was sponsored by the Center for Conservation and Biodiversity and Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology in the UConn College of Liberal Arts and Sciences; the Connecticut State Museum of Natural History; Connecticut Science Center; Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection; and CREC Two Rivers Magnet Middle School.
