Luther College biology professor authors book chapter about sustainable Iowa agriculture

April 25, 2023

Beth Lynch

Beth Lynch, Luther College associate professor of biology, recently contributed chapter 13, “The Ties That Bind: Biodiversity’s Critical Importance” in a book titled “Tending Iowa’s Land – Pathways to a Sustainable Future” edited by renowned Iowa author Cornelia Mutel. The book details Iowa’s transformation from woodlands to agriculture fields and proposes solutions to the problems related to the environment. 

The book is divided into four sections that discuss soil, water, air and life, how these components affect agriculture and possible solutions. It is written for a non-technical audience and is meant to be informative but also fun to read. “It contains chapters written by research scientists like myself as well as essays written by people who are doing really interesting work in building sustainable pathways in Iowa,” said Lynch. 

In her chapter, Beth Lynch examines the value of biodiversity as an introduction to the fourth section of the book: Life. Lynch describes what biodiversity is, why it is important and the loss of biodiversity in Iowa since the mid-19th century.  

“I begin with describing some of the unexpected and marvelous species diversity that I have observed close to where I live on a farm north of Decorah and then I explain some of the science about biodiversity and extinction using examples from Iowa,” said Lynch. “It’s kind of depressing to talk about extinction, but it’s important for people to understand that we are currently experiencing a massive human-caused loss of biodiversity that will impact us and the places we live. It doesn’t get as much attention as climate change, but it is just as important and is happening much more quickly.”

The book also highlights how biodiversity and environmental problems will play a role in Iowa’s agriculture in the future. “If things continue as is, we will continue to see the rapid depletion of the little bit of biodiversity that still remains in Iowa,” said Lynch. “We will see fewer species surviving, even in parts of the state that are not planted in crops. Protecting biodiversity will require restoring and saving habitats that are needed by native species. Many people are working hard to do this on tiny fragments of public and private land, but so far it’s not on the scale that it needs to be to prevent future species losses.” 

“Tending Iowa’s Land – Pathways to a Sustainable Future” can be purchased from Dragonfly Books in Decorah at dragonflybooks.com and on Amazon.

Luther College and University of Iowa create 4+1 Bachelor’s to Master’s Degree Program in public health

Brad Chamberlain, Luther College Provost; Jenifer K. Ward, Luther College President; Brent Gage, UI Associate Vice President for Enrollment Management; Edith Parker, Professor and Dean, UI College of Public Health

Luther College and the University of Iowa College of Public Health are partnering to create a 4+1 Bachelor’s to Master’s Degree Program in public health. Students who take advantage of this program will be able to earn a bachelor’s degree plus a master’s degree in public health in five years.

University of Iowa College of Public Health

“This accelerated path allows for substantial savings in both time and money, while pursuing education in one of the top 20 colleges of public health in the U.S.,” said Maryna Nading, associate professor of anthropology at Luther College. “During their senior year at Luther, students enrolled in this program will be taking both Luther courses and online graduate courses via U of I. They will be invited to participate in the events and activities at the College of Public Health, they will have a graduate school academic advisor, and will be encouraged to get to know other students in their cohort and their U of I faculty.”

Luther students from any major will be considered for admission to the Master of Public Health degree program, which provides training in epidemiology, biostatistics, community and behavioral health, occupational and environmental health, and health policy. Graduates work as epidemiologists, policymakers, biostatisticians, administrators, program planners, and environmental specialists to name a few. 

An individualized plan of study will be prepared for each student upon admission to the program to ensure that their undergraduate and graduate degrees are completed within five years’ time. 

“Luther College has a long history of opening doors for its students, especially to graduate and professional programs upon graduation,” said Brad Chamberlain, provost at Luther College. “I am excited about this new partnership and new opportunity for Luther students—an opportunity that creates a direct and expedited path to a graduate degree at a respected partner institution in a field that is both timely and relevant.”

Since the pandemic, public health careers are in demand. The Bureau of National Labor Statistics predicts that jobs in public health will increase 15% from 2019 to 2029, much faster than the average for all occupations. That translates to almost 2.4 million new careers in public health.

“Luther students are often guided by the ethic of service and many are committed to social justice. In the field of public health, this work often takes the form of preventing disease and reducing health disparities. What could be a more noble work in our world divided by inequalities?” said Nading.

Justin Nierling Selected as Stars Over Iowa Winner

The 2023 Stars Over Iowa winners were announced at the 95th Iowa FFA State Leadership Conference at Iowa State University on . A Star Over Iowa was selected in each of the four different areas: Agricultural Placement, Agribusiness, Agriscience, and Agricultural Production.

Justin Nierling of the Decorah FFA Chapter is the 2023 Star in Agribusiness winner. This award category is based on an entrepreneurship/ownership Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) program in a non-production agriculture area.

Justin is the owner and operator of Nierling Custom Farming, where he provides producers with services such as round baling and wrapping. In the summer of 2020, Justin was looking for something he could do to set himself up for a lifelong career. He looked at several options and ultimately decided to buy a round baler to start his own custom round baling business. Throughout the years, his business has grown significantly, and he has gained great responsibility and learned many life lessons in running a business. Justin has baled 9600 bales in the lifetime of his business. He expanded services last year and bought a bale wrapper. He wrapped a total of 3700 bales within the last two years. Justin recently traded his baler for a brand-new one and bought a bale trailer to rent out to clients to speed up hauling round bales.

Justin had many people help him get started in custom farming over the years. One of the biggest ways he received clients was through advertising his services on social media and offering merchandise to the public.

In FFA, Justin received a gold rating at state with his proficiency. He also served as a committee chairperson in his chapter. After graduation, Justin plans to slowly start taking over the family farm. He also plans on picking up more crop ground to farm and to grow his business in providing producers with more custom services.

“This is a very prestigious FFA award that is based on outstanding supervised agricultural experiences (ag work-based learning) and FFA accomplishments,” commented Decorah FFA Advisor Joni Bruvold. “We are so proud of Justin on this amazing accomplishment and look forward to watching him continue to grow and expand his agricultural business.”

Justin is the son of Matt and Jolene Nierling. His chapter advisor is Ms. Joni Bruvold. His high school principal is Mr. Brad Hurst, and his superintendent is Dr. Tim Cronin.

Luther College students organize DECORIDE fundraiser benefiting the Decorah Free Clinic

Luther College students are organizing a cycling fundraiser with all proceeds going to the Decorah Free Clinic (DFC). DECORIDE will take place at 9 a.m. Saturday, May 6, on the Trout Run Trail in Decorah. 

The DFC serves underinsured or uninsured patients who do not have access to professional health services, mainly because of cost. The patients in the clinic may have minor injuries or illnesses that need to be acutely attended to, or they may have chronic diseases that need long term follow up care.

Souk Sengsaisouk is a senior nursing major at Luther who volunteered at the clinic and now works as their interim director. He is one of the main organizers of DECORIDE because he sees the impact of the DFC first-hand and wants to raise awareness and provide some financial support. 

“Working closely with patients at the DFC allows me to gain insights about their primary health care needs. Having the DFC is a strength of our community as it ensures health care needs are met at both the individual and community level,” said Sengsaisouk. 

“The impact of the DFC is both for its patients and the individuals who serve at the clinic,” said Angela Kueny, Luther College nursing professor and volunteer nurse at the DFC. “It is the mark of a committed community to meet the health needs of all of its members, across all backgrounds and abilities to pay. Not only that, the DFC contributes to the health of the overall community. With fewer individuals struggling with disease or injury, communities thrive with productive members who can continue working and preventing the spread of disease.”

Check-in begins at Will Baker Park at 9 a.m. with the ride starting at 10 a.m. At noon, Pulpit Rock Brewing will welcome participants to enjoy a cash bar and music provided by Driftless Jazz, a popular Luther College band. 

Registration is open now and anyone can participate. Visit linktr.ee/DECORIDE to register and learn more. Apparel is also available to purchase through April 17 with 10% of the proceeds going to the DFC. 

This event is sponsored by Pulpit Rock Brewing Company, Donlon Pharmacy, Decorah Bicycles, Deco Products, Fareway, Decorah Area Chamber of Commerce, Decorah Parks and Recreation, and the Luther College Center for Sustainable Communities.

Luther College student utilizes J-Term to prepare for her future career

Luther College senior Hayley Carr ’23 is getting a jump start on her career by developing classroom lesson plans while still in college. Carr is studying biology and secondary education with the goal of teaching middle school students about her passions.

“I’ve always been so interested in the outdoors and how the world around us works, you know, like the dirt under our feet. What’s going on in there? What’s in our sky? I have always been really interested in how things work and I think biology and teaching as a whole is really going to help me share those passions with other people,” said Carr. 

This January Term (J-Term) at Luther College, Carr collaborated with Beth Lynch, associate professor of biology, to dive into three topics in ecology. They created ecology modules or lesson plans focused on specific subjects including subnivium (rare under-snow ecosystems), fire use and suppression in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, and rare ecosystems found in the Driftless such as algific talus slopes and water ecology and quality. 

“I spent about a week on each of these topics, diving into the literature, creating a middle school-level reading that could be presented in class, narrated using a flipped classroom approach, or used otherwise. To go along with that, I matched Next Generation Science Standards to each of the topics, then designed and compiled hands-on labs and activities I could use to supplement these lessons. I feel it is so important for students to learn by doing, and the labs, activities and demonstrations I picked to accompany my lessons reflect this,” said Carr. 

Now, Carr is equipped with her first lesson plans as she moves into life after college, providing her with a little comfort. 

During my student teaching experience, it kind of all hit me at once like, oh my gosh, next year I’m going to have my own classroom and I will have to develop my own lessons. So I’m like, okay, why don’t I start before I’m actually in the classroom? What I created are really high quality lessons and activities that are ready for me to use. I basically just have to print it out, get the materials and we’re ready to go.

I basically just have to print it out, get the materials and we’re ready to go,” said Carr. 

As Carr moves into the future with her ecology modules, she says this is just one example of how her Luther experience prepared her for the real world.

“I’ve had some really, really great professors that have taught me so much. Combining the knowledge I’ve gained from my biology classes with what I’ve learned in my education classes about classroom management, how to plan lessons, and how to make things engaging for students will be greatly beneficial. I’ve had really great opportunities to learn a lot from my biology professors and my advisor, Dr. Eric Baack. I would also like to credit Dr. Beth Lynch for her willingness to work with me on this project, as well as Dr. Jill Leet-Otley, an education professor who has encouraged me to become a compassionate, curious and knowledgeable educator.“

 

J-Term at Luther College

January term or J-Term at Luther College is a unique time in Luther’s academic year when students are able to explore different interests, focus their studies or try new experiences. Students have the time and space to take a seminar, study abroad, get an internship or even prepare for their future.
