Soil amelioration via strategic deep tillage is occasionally utilized within conservation tillage systems to alleviate soil constraints, but its impact on weed seed burial and subsequent growth within the agronomic system is poorly understood. This study assessed the effects of different strategic deep-tillage practices, including soil loosening (deep ripping), soil mixing (rotary spading), or soil inversion (moldboard plow), on weed seed burial and subsequent weed growth, compared with a no-till control. The tillage practices were applied in 2019 at Yerecoin and Darkan, WA, and data on weed seed burial and growth were collected during the following 3-yr winter crop rotation (2019 to 2021). Soil inversion buried 89% of rigid ryegrass (Lolium rigidum Gaudin) and ripgut brome (Bromus diandrus Roth) seeds to a depth of 10 to 20 cm at both sites, while soil loosening and mixing left between 31% and 91% of the seeds in the top 0 to 10 cm of soil, with broad variation between sites. Few seeds were buried beyond 20 cm despite tillage working depths exceeding 30 cm at both sites. Soil inversion reduced the density of L. rigidum to <1 plant m−2 for 3 yr after strategic tillage. Bromus diandrus density was initially reduced to 0 to 1 plant m−2 by soil inversion, but increased to 4 plants m−2 at Yerecoin in 2020 and 147 plants at Darkan in 2021. Soil loosening or mixing did not consistently decrease weed density. The field data were used to parameterize a model that predicted weed density following strategic tillage with greater accuracy for soil inversion than for loosening or mixing. The findings provide important insights into the effects of strategic deep tillage on weed management in conservational agricultural systems and demonstrate the potential of models for optimizing weed management strategies.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Supported by the State of Alabama, the Alabama Genomic Health Initiative (AGHI) is aimed at preventing and treating common conditions with a genetic basis. This joint UAB Medicine-HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology effort provides genomic testing, interpretation, and counseling free of charge to residents in each of Alabama’s 67 counties. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Launched in 2017, as a state-wide population cohort, AGHI (1.0) enrolled 6,331 Alabamians and returned individual risk of disease(s) related to the ACMG SF v2.0 medically actionable genes. In 2021, the cohort was expanded to include a primary care cohort. AGHI (2.0) has enrolled 750 primary care patients, returning individual risk of disease(s) related to the ACMG SF v3.1 gene list and pre-emptive pharmacogenetics (PGx) to guide medication therapy. Genotyping is done on the Illumina Global Diversity Array with Sanger sequencing to confirm likely pathogenic / pathogenic variants in medically actionable genes and CYP2D6 copy number variants using Taqman assays, resulting in a CLIA-grade report. Disease risk results are returned by genetic counselors and Pharmacogenetics results are returned by Pharmacists. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We have engaged a statewide community (>7000 participants), returning 94 disease risk genetic reports and 500 PGx reports. Disease risk reports include increased predisposition to cancers (n=38), cardiac diseases (n=33), metabolic (n=12), other (n=11). 100% of participants harbor an actionable PGx variant, 70% are on medication with PGx guidance, 48% harbor PGx variants and are taking medications affected. In 10% of participants, pharmacists sent an active alert to the provider to consider/ recommend alternative medication. Most commonly impacted medications included antidepressants, NSAIDS, proton-pump inhibitors and tramadol. To enable the EMR integration of genomic information, we have developed an automated transfer of reports into the EMR with Genetics Reports and PGx reports viewable in Cerner. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: We share our experience on pre-emptive implementation of genetic risk and pharmacogenetic actionability at a population and clinic level. Both patients and providers are actively engaged, providing feedback to refine the return of results. Real time alerts with guidance at the time of prescription are needed to ensure future actionability and value.

The Neotoma Paleoecology Database is a community-curated data resource that supports interdisciplinary global change research by enabling broad-scale studies of taxon and community diversity, distributions, and dynamics during the large environmental changes of the past. By consolidating many kinds of data into a common repository, Neotoma lowers costs of paleodata management, makes paleoecological data openly available, and offers a high-quality, curated resource. Neotoma’s distributed scientific governance model is flexible and scalable, with many open pathways for participation by new members, data contributors, stewards, and research communities. The Neotoma data model supports, or can be extended to support, any kind of paleoecological or paleoenvironmental data from sedimentary archives. Data additions to Neotoma are growing and now include >3.8 million observations, >17,000 datasets, and >9200 sites. Dataset types currently include fossil pollen, vertebrates, diatoms, ostracodes, macroinvertebrates, plant macrofossils, insects, testate amoebae, geochronological data, and the recently added organic biomarkers, stable isotopes, and specimen-level data. Multiple avenues exist to obtain Neotoma data, including the Explorer map-based interface, an application programming interface, the neotoma R package, and digital object identifiers. As the volume and variety of scientific data grow, community-curated data resources such as Neotoma have become foundational infrastructure for big data science.

Recent commodity price volatility and development of new futures contracts has kindled interest in hedging among farmers in many parts of the country. Due to the importance of feeder cattle production in Kentucky and in the South generally, recent development of a feeder cattle contract is of special interest. This paper addresses some potential problems associated with use of feeder cattle futures markets by Kentucky producers. Specifically, it tries to: (1) determine the effect, if any, of location basis variability on ex post hedging results in Kentucky markets versus delivery markets at Omaha and Oklahoma City, (2) assess the ability of hedging to reduce revenue variability as compared to cash marketing and (3) determining the presence of bias in feeder cattle futures prices.

Medical education often presents new material as large data dumps at a single live event (lecture or symposium), in part because it is traditional, and also because this structure can be perceived as the most time efficient for busy clinicians and their teachers. However, modern learning theory and new insights from the neurobiological basis of long-term memory formation show that the format of single-event presentation of materials is not very effective. Rather, seeing the presentation of new materials over time, in bite-sized chunks, and then seeing them again at a later time, particularly as a test, leads to more retention of information than does learning the same amount of material as a large bolus in a single setting. This notion of learning over time, also called “interval learning” or “spaced learning,” is particularly well adapted to the Internet era. Here we describe an application of this concept to the learning of psychopharmacology over time in bite-sized and repeated portions structured as an “online fellowship” called the Master Psychopharmacology Program (www.neiglobal.com/mpptour).

Medical presentations can be enhanced by systematically collecting audience feedback. This is readily accomplished with polling systems, called audience response systems. Several systems are now available that are small, inexpensive, and can be readily integrated into standard powerpoint presentations without the need for a technician. Use of audience response systems has several advantages. These include improving attentiveness, increasing learning, polling anonymously, tracking individual and group responses, gauging audience understanding, adding interactivity and fun, and evaluating both participant learning and instructor teaching. Tips for how to write questions for audience response systems are also included.

Medical presentations can be designed as a data dump or as a story. One effective communication strategy is to organize a lecture as a three act play, starting with previews as the first act and ending with reviews as the third act. Previews facilitate learner achievement and may help learners view a medical instructor more positively. Reviews also help consolidate audience learning and ensure that messages have been clearly delivered and received. The main act is in the middle and is the content itself. Delivering this content in small multiples gives learners manageable packets of information and can help them to see the differences and similarities between conditions, deepening their understanding of what was presented.
Applying principles of adult learning can enhance the effectiveness of a medical presentation. A previous “Trends in Psychopharmacology” presented an overview of these principles and discussed targeting the learner rather than the content or the lecturer as the focus for a medical presentation. Here we cover the concept of presenting content to a learner as a story and show how to organize or “storyboard” it as a three act play.
Lectures can be arranged as a dull recitation of facts or as a story that makes the facts come alive. Generally speaking, a participant is less interested in hearing the facts that a lecturer has to present than in listening to a story the lecturer has to tell. Organizing content into a “three act play” can make a lecture memorable and its lessons practical. Classically, teachers have explained the three parts as: “Say what you are gonna say; say it; then say what you said.” More specifically, the previews are the first part, the presentation itself is the second part, and the reviews are the third part of this structure.

Summary
Chapter overview
Chapter 2 examines those characteristics that all audiences have in common, starting from the moment just before people walk into the meeting room. Emphasis is given to the characteristics that are most common in members of a medical audience.
The first section explains how to settle tensions in the learning environment. Audiences experience four tensions that have the potential to distract at least some of them from an instructor's message: discomfort in the room, tensions with the other learners, unfamiliarity with the instructor, and tension with the material and the process of the presentation. Instructors who are aware of these tensions can relieve them, thereby making audiences more receptive to instruction.
Even after audience members settle down, they will be able to pay attention only for a limited amount of time. The next section will discuss ways to accommodate the attention span of audience members to ensure they are highly interested and fully focused throughout a presentation.
Each audience member's receptiveness to a presentation, or to any given part of a presentation, depends in part on his or her learning style. Understanding and accommodating the four learning styles – visual, auditory, reading/writing, and kinesthetic/tactile – can help an instructor develop and implement a presentation that is more effective for a greater portion of the audience.
Different learners will want to use newly acquired information in different ways – either for problem solving (convergent thinking) or for idea generating (divergent thinking).

Summary
Chapter overview
Chapter 3 examines how instructors can maximize effectiveness by balancing their presentation efforts between “what is said” and “how it is said.” Constructing a successful educational presentation is similar to constructing any other object. The job requires a combination of factors: namely, having a plan plus having the required tools and then applying the skilled use of those tools leads to a successful “build.” This chapter explores an array of tools and how to use them to increase the success of presentations.
Personality affects both sides of the communication equation. A presenter's personality style will affect how he or she chooses to communicate with the audience. The various personalities represented in the audience will influence how the instructor's message is received. Because personality affects the way learners perceive an instructor, the instructor's ability to convey knowledge hinges in part upon personality. The key to effectiveness for an instructor is to know his or her own style and what strategies need to be employed to expand success across all personality styles. This chapter will discuss how knowing personality styles of oneself and one's audience (e.g. by using DiSC definitions) can allow an instructor to leverage his/her personality style to enhance the transmission of information.
Practice and preparation are critical keys to success. Understanding the components of preparation allows for the development of a thorough plan that can be practiced. Practicing the “what” and “how” until it all becomes second nature facilitates exceptional presentations.

Summary
This book was conceived and developed to be a change agent for medical educators. We hope that the principles, concepts and illustrations contained within will raise the effectiveness of those who teach. One might consider the contents of this book to be the “rest of the story” concerning current medical education practices. That is, the tools presented in this book are intended to be the communication complement to the traditional subject matter content of medical education. The premise of this book is that combining the science of communication with the communication of science creates an incrementally more valuable exchange for both the instructor and the learner.
Hopefully there will be something in this book for everyone, from novice instructors to the most experienced mentors. Novice medical educators may discover many new principles about how to assist others to learn. In fact, this book is organized with the first section examining how to apply the principles of adult learning to the design of effective educational presentations. The second section focuses on gaining an understanding of the many and various aspects of the different learners represented in any medical audience. This is followed in the third section by information on the instructor's performance and the impact it can have on effectiveness. The last area discussed is how to measure and evaluate educational programs to see if they have reached their desired outcomes. Each chapter is followed by a knowledge check and an assessment section.
