SUMMARY:Keynote / Discours d'ouverture: Dr. Swanne Gordon (BE-STEMM 2024 EN-STIMM)
DESCRIPTION:BE-STEMM 2024 Opening Remarks & Keynote address \n\nIn-person: Library & Archives Canada\nAuditorium\nLivestreamed on the conference platform for registrants.\n\nDr. Swanne Gordon\nTitle: Embracing Diversity: Insights from Nature and Academia in our Rapidly Changing World\nTitre: Adopter la diversité : aperçus de la nature et du monde universitaire dans notre monde en évolution rapide\n \n Biography/ Biographie\nDr. Gordon is an Assistant Professor in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell University. She earned her MSc at McGill University\, her PhD at University of California Riverside\, and was an Academy of Finland postdoctoral fellow at the University of Jyväskylä in Finland. Prior to her appointment at Cornell\, Dr. Gordon was an Assistant Professor of Biology at Washington University in St. Louis. Her research uses multiple taxa and a combination of field\, laboratory\, mathematical\, and behavioral experiments to study the selective forces maintaining species trait diversity under rapid environmental change in four main areas: 1) rapid evolution to novel environments; 2) warning colour polymorphism;\n3) urban ecology; and 4) the role of behaviour on global stream ecosystem dynamics. \nEach area\, critical to helping develop generalizable and effective responses to our current climate and biodiversity crises. Her research and passions also broadly focus on increasing diversity in STEMM and academic leadership\, decolonizing education and academia\, scientific communication\, especially in underserved communities\, and on providing safe and inclusive institutional spaces where everyone feels welcome to pursue and be passionate about research. \nLa Dre Swanne Gordon est professeure adjointe au College of Agriculture and Life Sciences de l’université Cornell. Elle a obtenu sa maîtrise à l’Université McGill\, son doctorat à l’Université de Californie Riverside et a été boursière postdoctorale de l’Académie de Finlande à l’Université de Jyväskylä en Finlande. Avant d’être nommée à Cornell\, la Dre Gordon était professeure adjointe de biologie à l’université de Washington à St Louis. Ses recherches portent sur plusieurs taxons et combinent des expériences sur le terrain\, en laboratoire\, mathématiques et comportementales pour étudier les forces sélectives qui maintiennent la diversité des traits des espèces dans des conditions de changement environnemental rapide dans quatre domaines principaux : 1) l’évolution rapide vers de nouveaux environnements ; 2) le polymorphisme des couleurs d’avertissement ; ) l’écologie urbaine ; et 4) le rôle du comportement sur la dynamique de l’écosystème des cours d’eau à l’échelle mondiale. \nChaque domaine est essentiel pour aider à développer des réponses généralisables et efficaces aux crises actuelles du climat et de la biodiversité. Ses recherches et ses passions se concentrent également sur l’augmentation de la diversité dans les STIMM et le leadership universitaire\, la décolonisation de l’éducation et de l’université\, la communication scientifique\, en particulier dans les communautés mal desservies\, et sur la création d’espaces institutionnels sûrs et inclusifs où chacun se sent le bienvenu pour poursuivre et se passionner pour la recherche. \n
