<p class="MsoNormal">The Graduate Students of Anthropology Association (GSAA) welcomes Carolyn L. Ehardt Professor, Department of Anthropology, University of Texas at San Antonio (and recently/formerly, <i>Program Director, Biological Anthropology Program,
National Science Foundation</i>).<span style="font-family:"Optima-Regular","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Optima-Regular","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Mark your calendars for Thursday, 6PM November 13, 2014 in 035 Hitchcock Hall. Reception with food and beverages to follow at 7pm in Smith Lab 4012.<span style="font-family:"Optima-Regular","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<p class="xmsonospacing">"In these times of heightened Congressional oversight, budgetary restrictions, emphasized accountability and transparency, and open access, NSF's funding mission has moved to a more dynamic status. Characteristics of evolving approaches
to evaluating research proposals and structuring of funding have potential to impact NSF's support of research across the sciences, and with particular relevance to the social and behavioral sciences. Building on a recent multi-year appointment as an NSF
program director, an 'insider's' insights are offered regarding current events and the agency's responses. What are the pressures currently impacting NSF, and how will NSF's responses to these structure our engagement in efforts to fund our research with
Federal research dollars?”<span style="font-family:"Optima-Regular","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="xmsonospacing">Additionally, Dr. Ehardt is giving a talk in our department about her research in primatology and conservation. This will be held on Friday, November 14th at 10:30 am in Smith Lab 4012: <span style="font-family:"Optima-Regular","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<div>
<p class="xmsonospacing">"The relict montane forests of the Udzungwa Mountains of Tanzania – the major refuge forests of the Afromontane Biodiversity Hotspot – are critically important for plant and animal conservation, especially for the endemic primate fauna.
A growing team of researchers is documenting the biodiversity in these forests and illuminating the ecology of the threatened wildlife, especially the Endangered Sanje mangabey. The developing understanding of this unique primate is providing scientific
contribution to important theoretical aspects of primate ecology and evolution, and will find application in efforts to foster conservation. But the pursuit of field-based science also is not without its 'human' side, and punctuated with serendipitous events
leading to surprising discoveries and new understandings. One such set of events is reviewed, including the important scientific contributions generated through this unexpected and all-too-human experience.”<span style="font-family:"Optima-Regular","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
