The New Mexico Alliance for Minority Participation (New Mexico AMP) invites you to attend its Undergraduate Research Conference at the Las Cruces Convention Center, September 29 – October 1 , 2016.
Science on Tap, a series of informal talks on a wide range of topics in science and technology, will continue on the first Thursday of every month, now at it's new home at O'Neill's pub at 4310 Central Ave. in Albuquerque. The talks are co-sponsored by the University of New Mexico, Explora! and the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History. Admission is free, and you must be 21 years to attend. Click here for the most recent dates, and for more information call 505-245-2137.
The National Museum of Nuclear Science & History will host a photo art exhibit that invites members of the community to share their photographic talent and eye for everything that is Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics (STEaM). The "Atomic STEaM Photography Show" exhibition will display photography ranging from the literal engineering feats of the Great Wall of China and the Great Pyramid of Giza, to the abstract interpretation of science as seen through a plant experiencing photosynthesis.
Enjoy a moonlit evening with live music, ranger programs, or special guest presenters and artists. Full Moon Nights share the cultural legacy of southern New Mexico and northern Mexico, as well as the rich natural resources of White Sands National Monument. Park entrance fees apply. Program is free. Learn more: https://www.nps.gov/whsa/planyourvisit/full-moon-night.htm
Join Amanda Cantrell for a morning of New Mexico fossil discoveries ranging from the baby pentaceratops airlifted out of the Bisti Wilderness last fall to amazing arthropods and prodigious plant fossils collected from central and southern New Mexico. The morning will include a tour of the paleoscience collections. Pre-registration required. Learn more & register at http://www.nmnaturalhistory.org/events/new-fossil-discoveries-museum.
All NM Museum of Natural History & Science Museum members, volunteers, general public, teachers, and students are invited to attend. This is a real-time telecon with New Mexico teacher Karen Temple-Beamish and the researchers looking at the changes in carbon and how they effect the tundra. They will be sharing experiences and observations directly from their field site in the Healy area near Denali National Park, Alaska, and the presentation will be followed by Q&A from the audience.
Diversity Innovation Working Groups (D-IWG) provide a venue for researchers, educators, and nationally recognized experts to address challenges associated with engaging and retaining women, members of under-represented groups, and first-generation college students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) in New Mexico. Successful D-IWGs will result in innovative proposals to NSF or other agencies, publication of synthesis papers in peer-reviewed journals, or other defined outputs that are likely to contribute to broadening participation in STEM.
On behalf of the National Science Foundation Directorate for Education and Human Resources (EHR), you are invited to attend a special webinar highlighting upcoming funding opportunities within EHR, especially aimed at broadening participation in STEM.
NSF EPSCoR is hosting a webinar on Monday, August 29, 2016 at 2 pm (EDT) for all those interested in learning more about the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP). The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program provides a prestigious award that supports research-oriented students in a wide range of STEM and social science fields during graduate school. This webinar will provide an overview of the GRFP and program updates for the FY 2015 competition (incl.
The project is described on the website http://www.nmepscor.org/science/social-science-nexus. This is one component of the NSF EPSCoR project, Energize New Mexico.
