(Presenting)
I will present examples of the American Museum of Natural History's Bio Bulletin, a current biodiversity science program broadcast in HDTV to 10 million informal science institution visitors annually. The Bio Bulletin web site, sciencebulletins.amnh.org/bio, archives frequently updated content, providing a media-rich resource for formal and informal education. The Bio Bulletin uses satellite imagery to portray important themes in Biodiversity Science, including: space-based biophysical measurements; unique ecosystems; rare and endangered species and their native ecosystems; biodiversity hotspots and ecoregions; and ecosystem processes. Workshop participants are encouraged to present their own research results for consideration as potential stories for the Bio Bulletin.
