WATER & ENERGY IN NM LECTURE SERIES: CONVERSATIONS ON OUR COMMON FUTURE
WHEN: Most Wednesdays from Aug. 31st to Nov. 9th • noon-1pm
WHERE: Pearl Hall (Stanford & Central, across from Frontier) • Room P133, lower level
The New Mexico Academy of Science (NMAS) and its partners, the New Mexico Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (NM EPSCoR) and the University of New Mexico Center for Water & the Environment, invite you to the 2016 Research Symposium! This is our 4th year hosting this event, and we expect it to be even more popular this year. The event is open to the public, and will focus on water, energy, the environment, and more.
We encourage all EPSCoR participants of the current RII4 Energize New Mexico project to submit abstracts for a paper presentation and/or a poster presentation, especially students looking to diversify their presentation and speaking skills. Abstracts selected for presentation will be published in the 2016 New Mexico Journal of Science! If you are interested in submitting an abstract, please read the Abstract Submission Guidelines (PDF) for instructions.
Crafting responsive tools for the sharing of data and knowledge requires understanding the people who will use them. In particular, exploring and studying how and why researchers perceive incentives, risks, and rewards for sharing research data may provide additional approaches and paths towards increasing openness. This webinar will be broadcast from SciDataCon during International Data Week in Denver, Colorado, and will feature panelists who plan to discuss their work in the areas of: data as social capital, giving researchers credit for data, and the results of a case study on perceived versus actual risks of data sharing.
Do you know what computed tomorgraph is? It is used in medicine (have you had a CT or CAT-scan?) and is increasingly used in industry, but there are many challenges in its applications. Join Dr. Edward Jimenez for a look at this exciting and versatile technology that has expanding relevance of industry and national security. Dr. Edward Jimenez is currently a Principal Scientist in Computer Science for the Sandia National Laboratories Software Systems R&D Group.
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.

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.
