    Picture This! Compiled by WSRA’s Children’s Literature Committee for the 2017 Convention from titles published between September 2015-December 2016 Committee members dedicate themselves to reading widely to evaluate the newest books published each year, in order to recommend the most interesting and valuable books for educators and children to read. Submitted and nominated titles are evaluated based on appeal for students and value for classroom use; while representing high-quality literature with a focus on diversity, authenticity, real-world awareness, thought-provoking response, engaging storytelling, artistry of writing craft, and exemplary illustrations. A Beetle is Shy by Dianna Hutts Aston, illustrated by Sylvia Long (Chronicle Books, 2016). ​ The award-winning duo of Dianna Hutts Aston and Sylvia Long team up again, this time creating a gorgeous look at the fascinating world of beetles. From flea beetles to bombardier beetles, an incredible variety of these beloved bugs are showcased here in all their splendor. Poetic in voice and elegant in design, this carefully researched and visually striking book is perfect for sparking children's imaginations in both classroom reading circles and home libraries. A Big Surprise for Little Card by Charise Mericle Harper, illustrated by Anna Raff (Candlewick Press, 2016). ​ In the world of cards, each one has a special job to do. But is any card as lucky as Little Card? He's going to school to become a birthday card — in other words, to sing, play games, eat cake, and be happy all day long. Offbeat and utterly endearing, this tale of a little guy who gives it all he's got is complete with a sweet twist and a surprise ending.

  • A Genome-Wide Survey of Genetic Variation in Gorillas Using Reduced Representation Sequencing
    1 A genome-wide survey of genetic variation in gorillas using reduced representation sequencing Aylwyn Scally1,2*, Bryndis Yngvadottir1,3*, Yali Xue1, Qasim Ayub1, Richard Durbin1, Chris Tyler- Smith1 *Equal contribution 1The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Wellcome Trust Genome Campus, Hinxton, Cambs.

To date, however, genetic studies within these species have largely been confined to mitochondrial DNA and a small number of other loci. Here, we present a genome-wide survey of genetic variation in gorillas using a reduced representation sequencing approach, focusing on the two lowland subspecies. We identify 3,274,491 polymorphic sites in 14 individuals: 12 western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) and 2 eastern lowland gorillas (Gorilla beringei graueri). We find that the two species are genetically distinct, based on levels of heterozygosity and patterns of allele sharing. Focusing on the western lowland population, we observe evidence for population substructure, and a deficit of rare genetic variants suggesting a recent episode of population contraction. In western lowland gorillas, there is an elevation of variation towards telomeres and centromeres on the chromosomal scale.

Fundamental to all aspects of human existence, culture shapes the way humans view life and functions as a tool we use to adapt to our social and physical environments. A culture is the sum of all of the beliefs, values, behaviors, and symbols that have meaning for a society. All human beings have culture, and individuals within a culture share a general set of beliefs and values.

  • The Case for the Personhood of the Gorillas
    The Case for the Personhood of Gorillas* FRANCINE PATTERSON & WENDY GORDON We present this individual for your consideration: She communicates in sign language, using a vocabulary of over 1,000 words. She also understands spoken English, and often carries on 'bilingual' conversations, responding in sign to questions asked in English. She is learning the letters of the alphabet, and can read some printed words, including her own name. She has achieved scores between 85 and 95 on the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Test. She demonstrates a clear self-awareness by engaging in self-directed behaviours in front of a mirror, such as making faces or examining her teeth, and by her appropriate use of self- descriptive language. She lies to avoid the consequences of her own misbehaviour, and anticipates others' responses to her actions. She engages in imaginary play, both alone and with others. She has produced paintings and drawings which are representational. She remembers and can talk about past events in her life. She understands and has used appropriately time- related words like 'before', 'after', 'later', and 'yesterday'. She laughs at her own jokes and those of others. She cries when hurt or left alone, screams when frightened or angered. She talks about her feelings, using words like 'happy', 'sad', 'afraid', 'enjoy', 'eager', 'frustrate', 'mad' and, quite frequently, 'love'. She grieves for those she has lost- a favourite cat who has died, a friend who has gone away. She can talk about what happens when one dies, but she becomes fidgety and uncomfortable when asked to discuss her own death or the death of her companions.

The diversity and rate of this process, however, has not been extensively explored among the great ape lineages. We analyzed 97 deeply sequenced great ape and human genomes and estimate that 16% (469 Mbp) of the hominid genome has been affected by recent copy number changes.

  • Exploring the Intersectional Politics of Feminist Memes on Instagram
    “By Any Memes Necessary”: Exploring the Intersectional Politics of Feminist Memes on Instagram Department of Informatics and Media, Uppsala University Two-Year Master’s Thesis Social Science: Digital Media and Society Student: Caitlin Breheny Supervisor: Ylva Ekström Spring 2017 !1 Acknowledgements I’d first of all like to thank Uppsala University and my wonderful supervisor, Ylva Ekström, for her continuous advice, support and encouragement. I’m also so grateful to the many others whom I have had the privilege of meeting during my time in Uppsala. My postgraduate student experience really wouldn’t have been as fulfilling without everybody (international and Swedish) who welcomed me into this little bubble. To my closest friends (you know who you are) - I value you immensely, your kindness and acceptance is everything. To my family - I would not be where I am now without you, and I am forever grateful for your support for all my choices in life, and for your unrelenting faith in me. And last but not least, a HUGE thank you must go to all of the people who did not just make this study possible, but made it what it is. To all of my interviewees: @goldnosering, @ada.wrong, @bunnymemes, @yung_nihilist, @fluentfascist, @esoteric_queen, @tequilafunrise, @distressed_memes, and @problematiqueer - my conversations with you were equal parts open, funny, and insightful. I learnt a great deal from speaking to every one of you! Additionally, to all of the people on Instagram who inspired and informed this study (of whom there are many), I admire your humour, honesty and resilience. Being immersed in all of this creativity, my thesis-writing experience has never stopped being interesting.
