**Workshop: How to Tell Compelling Personal Stories about My Science: We will offer two identical 2 hour Story Collider Workshops on Monday 6 July, 2020 with limited seating (70 seats per session = maximum 140 participants across the two workshops.) With a combination of lecture, discussion, reflective exercises, and hands-on practice, participants will learn about narrative structure, identifying and developing story leads, improving performance, and connecting to audiences. Workshop objectives: Introducing relevant psychology, neurocognitive, and social science theory and literatures; Teaching basics of story structure and composition, including elements of narrativity; Increasing appreciation of storytelling as a process and perceived self-efficacy in creating stories; Providing opportunities and a process for identifying possible stories and developing them; Offering intensive, personalized editing and coaching on story development and delivery. These workshops will be of interest to any scientist interested in learning about ways to more effectively share your science using personal story narratives. The workshop includes information and personal coaching in a two hour setting. Funding to make the workshops affordable is generously provided by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. #1518280. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this event are those of the attendees and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation.

#Official Conference Dinner and Party at the New Burke Museum, in walking distance to ICAR. We will have exclusive, private use of the entire New Burke Museum which was established in the late 1800s; following more than 10 years of fundraising, it recently completed a two year renovation and move to its current, larger site, which opened to the public in October 2019.  Appreciate the diverse art of Pacific Northwest Native peoples, and see living traditions carry on with artists and Indigenous researchers studying the collections from across the globe.  The Collections include 16 million objects of natural and cultural heritage from across the globe. 

We will have a walking dinner with drinks, while we explore the entire museum and its collections (described below).  You won't want to miss this unforgettable and unique opportunity to see a newly re-designed scientific and cultural museum that features the Pacific Northwest!

​What we’ll see at the New Burke during the ICAR Official Conference Party:
The exterior design of the New Burke is rooted in the Northwest. The shed-style roof was inspired by the traditional structures of the Coast Salish peoples, the first peoples of Puget Sound. A sequence of tall, narrow windows reference forests across the Pacific Northwest, and like cedar or fir, the Burke’s Scots pine siding will silver with age. 

Large areas of glazing maximize transparency and expose the interior experience to the street to connect the Burke to the campus, landscape and city. The design further breaks down traditional museum barriers between public and “back-of-house” spaces, integrating collections and research labs with traditional galleries and enabling visitors and the surrounding community to engage with the process of scientific discovery in a true working museum. A 24-foot-by-20-foot pivoting window wall continues this emphasis on transparency to literally open the Burke to the nature of a new outdoor courtyard. 

Over 80,000 plants native to the Pacific Northwest make up the exterior landscaping of the new Burke Museum. With over 60 species represented, many started as seeds or seedlings collected across Washington state, with 70,000 plants carefully cultivated over several years by the Native Plant Nursery at Oxbow Farm & Conservation Center in Carnation, Washington. 

​Experience six galleries about the people, landscape, plants and animals of the past and present that make the Pacific Northwest so special, including:
  • Fossils Uncovered: The only real dinosaur fossils on display in Washington state (including one of the best-preserved T. rex skulls in the world), intricate plant fossils that document past patterns of climate change, colossal mammals that roamed Washington state during the last Ice Age, and more, including a 10,000-year-old mastodon, a suspended full skeleton of a rare Baird’s beaked whale, and petrified logs that were once trees that grew in Eastern Washington 15-million-years- ago.
  • The Northwest Native Art gallery. Featuring both newly- created and historic basketry, carvings, multimedia art, and more. In addition to rotating exhibitions from artists, the gallery is anchored by permanent displays of monumental objects including a 35-foot canoe, welcome figure, totem poles, and house posts. 
  • Drawing on specimens from the Burke’s biology collections, Amazing Life reveals a global life- support system. Every living thing—including you—plays a role in keeping that system functioning. Discover how life has evolved across time and space, how it’s still changing today, and how it might change in the future. 
  • The Culture is Living gallery breaks down traditional museum authority and brings the expertise and knowledge of communities to the forefront. Cultural objects at the Burke Museum aren’t tucked away on shelves. They are alive, embodying the knowledge, language, and stories of people and cultures. See hundreds of objects and hear from community members from across the Pacific to find out how museum collections address historic wrongs, invigorate cultural practices today, and inspire the future through universal elements we all share—our connections to the Earth, Water, Air, Community, Childhood, and the Generations before and after us.
  • Our Material World Gallery: From the food we put in our bodies to the furniture we put in our homes, human life is shaped by “stuff” all around us—and our stuff reveals surprising truths about our lives. There’s a story in all our stuff—even the garbage we leave behind. Archaeologists study this material culture, and use it to understand people and cultures of the past. Find out what happens when we throw our stuff away, when archaeologists do (or don’t) dig, how Native peoples across Washington state are using the archaeological record to revitalize traditional food practices today, and more.

​Families! To encourage families of registered attendees to participate, Meeting Organizers are subsidizing ticket costs for family member guests. Children 4 and under may attend for free with their registered parent/guardian while children ages 5-18 may attend with a nominal $15 ticket each to partially defray the cost of food, drinks, and Museum rental and staff costs.
​Family spaces: Climb. Crawl. Look. Touch. Learn! The Burke Museum has a variety of spaces and activities for all ages, from the earliest of learners, to adults who never lost their childhood curiosity. Two play spaces and two activity alcoves encourage dramatic play, strengthen observation skills, and allow creativity to soar. Step into the shoes of a researcher studying at a Pacific Northwest beach site in the Field Camp Play Space. Investigate logs, a climbable orca, and a tide pool.  Imagine you’re traveling by stepping into a canoe, and then bring your findings from your trip back to the research tent with tools needed to conduct your research! Kids and adults alike can also dress up like their favorite animals in the Camouflage Corner, and do their best to blend in to different environments. Hands-on activities, crafts, and touchable collections are available in the activity alcoves on afternoons and weekends with natural and cultural themes changing monthly. 

Additional Information
Purchase party/banquet tickets online during registration process by June 30 or until sold out. If tickets remain after June 30, we will sell them on-site
  • Plant Scientists may be interested in the Burke Museum Herbarium of Pacific Northwest vascular plants, nonvascular plants, fungi, lichen, and algae, with currently over 660,000 specimens. While not on display at the Burke, you can search over 400,000 specimens through their online database.
  • With approximately 60,000 specimens, the Burke’s Paleobotany collection of fossil leaves, flowers, seeds and fruits, wood, plant microfossils (pollen and plant silica, or phytoliths), and fossil insects are the second largest on the West Coast. You may be interested to search their online database.
  • Tribal Consultation: Tribes and community members are the experts in these areas, and we are the caretakers. Changing these patterns of cultural dominance means actively involving communities in every aspect of our work. The Burke recognizes our colonial legacy, and we dedicate ourselves to learning from communities and building a more ethical and collaborative future together.​
  • LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: The Burke Museum stands on the lands of the Coast Salish Peoples, whose ancestors resided here since time immemorial. Many Indigenous peoples thrive in this place—alive and strong.
