Drawing from examples within the taxonomic and natural history collection communities, this webinar will detail the data types and challenges of biological specimen data. We’ll explore the value and import of data quality open resources, the current status of data assurance practices as well as some more practical 'how-to’ examples of implementing data quality assurance (QA) methods. For example, QA of publicly shared data is critical for effective use and reuse. As part of the data life cycle, QA often occurs following the collection of data.

Code.org welcomes elementary school teachers to sign up for a free, high-quality professional development workshop from an experienced computer science facilitator. The workshop will provide an intro to computer science, pedagogy, overview of the online curriculum, teacher dashboard, and strategies for teaching “unplugged” classroom activities. Workshops last 6-7 hours and will prepare you to teach the Code Studio courses for grades K-5. Visit the website to see what else you'll get from attending a workshop.
Historically, energy policy has been developed without considering the impact on water and climate policy may not consider the impact on energy. Solutions to these complex problems requires policy that considers tradeoffs between systems and is acceptable to society. EPSCoR Social and Natural Science Nexus component co-lead Dr. Janie Chermak will discuss her research on some of the interactions between systems and the impact of people’s taste and preferences with a focus on NM’s energy and water sectors, and how the state’s attitudes about energy development may impact policy.
Many abandoned uranium (U) mine waste sites remain in the Western U.S. More than 500 sites are located in Native American lands. Adequate remediation of these sites represents at least a multimillion dollar federal investment. It is necessary to understand the chemical and physical characteristics of these abandoned mine wastes for adequate management. Join EPSCoR researcher Dr. Cerrato as he discusses this critical problem and his research on abandoned mine wastes in Native American communities in central-western New Mexico and northeastern Arizona.
