Greg Diersen gave an oral presentation “Pollinator Collecting for the Lab and Classroom” at the Life Discovery – Doing Science Inaugural Education Conference on Mar 15-16 in St. Paul, Minnesota.
As a science teacher participant in the Echinacea project through the National Science Foundation RET program, Greg developed a lesson plan for experimentally pan-trapping pollinators to use in secondary and post-secondary biology classes. This experiment offers diverse opportunities for doing science, learning biological concepts, and understanding about our changing world.
Greg was a high-school science teacher for 16 years and is now a professor of biology at Martin Luther College in New Ulm, MN. diersegtATmlc-wels.edu
