      Biodiversity Lecture Series: Digital Biodiversity - Paul Hebert

Biodiversity science is building a new approach to identification, one 
based on the analysis of short DNA sequences. This shift from analogue 
to digital identification systems will transform biodiversity 
science--where a touch will reveal an organism's identity and all that 
humanity knows about it. Paul Hebert is the science director of the 
International Barcode of Life Project, which aims to index and identify 
forms of life through DNA barcoding.

      High Speed and Camera Trap Wildlife Photography -- Scott Linstead

In this unique presentation, freelance wildlife photographer and writer 
Scott Linstead will discuss his philosophy on creating wildlife 
imagery.  Although Scott straddles both the traditional and high-tech 
camps in his photographic endeavours, the technical, biological and 
ethical subtleties of high speed and camera trap photography will be 
examined in particular.  Get a peek behind the curtain at the massive 
technical undertakings of his most published images and hear a firsthand 
account on the realities of publishing natural history photography for a 
living. Following this lecture, Scott will be hosting a book-signing of 
/Decisive Moments, Creating Iconic Imagery/.
