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.
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.
Mark your calendars for 1:30 PM on Saturday, June 25th. The keynote speaker for CESE's annual meeting, Lawrence Krauss, will be speaking on
“Gravity Waves: a Journey to the Beginning of Time.”
Free and open to the public!
The STEM Advancement Program (STEMAP) engages students from New Mexico regional universities, community colleges and tribal colleges in the research funded by New Mexico EPSCoR. This summer, students will participate in a week of workshops at New Mexico Tech on energy topics and scientific research and spent eight weeks working with New Mexico EPSCoR-funded faculty and students on cutting edge research that is important to New Mexico. The summer program concludes with the STEMAP Student Research Conference on July 29 at which the students present their results.
The STEM Symposium is hosted by the Math and Science Bureau at the Public Education Department (PED) for 500 K–12 teachers of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).
The symposium will be held on June 3-4, 2016 at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Albuquerque.
