<p class="MsoNormal">We are still looking for participants for this year's virtual Insect Fair - we only have 7 (wonderful) volunteers, so far. In order to showcase the diverse research taking place within our department, we need more participants! As a reminder,
this is a great way for graduate students to fulfill any required outreach hours. Please fill out this short survey, if you are willing to participate or provide any materials:<span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#500050"> </span><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#0563C1"><a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScp5WV_IVRoOeL12DkbwJCM4d0GT8y1Gm4oJu-1inSSgOrgGg/viewform?usp=sf_link" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScp5WV_IVRoOeL12DkbwJCM4d0GT8y1Gm4oJu-1inSSgOrgGg/viewform?usp=sf_link</a></span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Pre-recorded videos can be very short (e.g. 2-10 minutes), while live-streamed videos would include audience participation and should be a little longer. The City of Riverside has requested that we send any pre-recorded videos or materials
to them by March 26th, so that they have time to edit and add captioning.<o:p></o:p></p>

<span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">I am excited to announce that the City of Riverside, along with EGSA’s Fundraising and Events Committee, has decided to hold a virtual Riverside Insect Fair this year! The event
will take place over the week of <b>April 12<sup>th</sup> – 16<sup>th</sup>, 2021</b>. The city is putting together several virtual activities and events, but, of course, they want to hear from the experts, as well. As we would like to make the event as engaging
as possible, everyone’s participation is incredibly important. We are looking for participants at every level to assist in putting together pre-recorded videos and/or participate in live-streamed activities during the event. Additionally, in lieu of the extremely
popular touch-a-bug booth, we are looking for videos and images of as many insects as possible (either in the field or the lab) to showcase insect diversity. If you are interested in participating or have anything to contribute, please fill out this survey:
