2007 FSP Index Released Academic
Analytics has released the results of their 2006-07 Faculty Scholarly Productivity Index.
This index measures departments in several areas, including faculty publications, other
works citing these publications, grants awarded, and many others. This year our department took
the #3 spot among Entomology departments nationwide, and ranked first in the subcategories
of grants and awards per faculty. For more information, please see a description of the
survey's methods here.
BeeSpotter Web Site Launched
The University of Illinois has launched the BeeSpotter web portal, designed to
aid the public in identifying and reporting populations of honey bees and bumble bees.
The site, a work in progress, allows users to submit bee pictures and the locations where
they were taken. The pictures are identified by staff in the Department of Entomology,
and the location data is incorporated into a map to create a statewide record of bee
populations. The site will also feature guides to bees, and information on several other
bee-related topics such as natural history, sting treatment, and bee gardens.
