Events of NM EPSCoR Partners
Most scientists have experienced the disappointment of opening an old data file and not fully understanding the contents. During data collection, we frequently optimize ease and efficiency of data entry, producing files that are not well formatted or described for longer term uses, perhaps assuming in the moment that the details of our experiments and observations would be impossible to forget.
As part of the Water & Energy in New Mexico Lecuture Series, NM EPSCoR Uranium Team member Bruce Thomson talks about creating guidelines for potable water reuse.
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
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.

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.
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.
