Thinking about a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) career? Interested in field research but unsure about what it takes? The New Mexico EPSCoR STEM Advancement Program (STEMAP) engages students from New Mexico regional universities, community colleges and tribal colleges in the research funded by NM EPSCoR. Each summer, as part of Energize New Mexico, 12 Students will spend 10 weeks as a research scientist.
NM EPSCoR will be hosting four introductory webinars on the STEM Advancement Program and the Undergraduate Visualization and Monitoring Network. Webinars are projected to be 30 minutes long. Click the title for dates & times!
Jamie Bell will present an overview of the Center for the Advancement of Informal Science Education (CAISE) and informalscience.org, an online community and collection of informal STEM learning projects, evaluation, and research resources. He will characterize the current state of Informal Science Education (ISE) Networks, describe CAISE’s role in convening ISE Networks, and invite discussion about further directions for and research on ISE Networks.
The Winter NSF EPSCoR Project Directors', Project Administrators' and Education, Outreach and Diversity Officers' (PD/PA/EOD) Meeting will be held on January 22-23, 2015 at the Hyatt Place Waikiki Beach Hotel in Honolulu, Hawaii.

The WC-WAVE (Track 2) Winter Tri-State meeting will be held in beautiful, historic Old Town, Albuquerque.
This meeting is an opportunity for all project participants to showcase their work, continue to expand and deepen their collaborations, and discover new possibilities for cyberinfrastructure-enhanced research and education. Our External Advisory Board members, experts from around the nation, will be attending to hear about our progress and provide their expert advice on how to achieve our project goals.
The New Mexico EPSCoR Post Doc Leadership Workshop is an innovative 3-day intensive, residential program designed to enhance the professional skills of post-doctoral scholars in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. The workshop application process for 2015 is now closed.
Hear the story of the state’s fossils from an expert on fossil mammals from the last 35 million years, Curator of Paleontology Gary Morgan, and learn what they can tell us about New Mexico’s past.
The Idaho, Nevada and New Mexico NSF EPSCoR–funded programs have formed a consortium of EPSCoR states with similar research agendas related to climate change and water resources , and cyberinfrastructure. In keeping with the Consortium mission, Innovation Working Group (IWG) funds are being made available to support collaborative, trans–disciplinary work by the three member states. The Western Tri–State Consortium IWG program is managed by a three–state team of Project Directors and EPSCoR staff.
With support from the Google CS4HS program, Santa Fe Institute’s Project GUTS: Growing Up Thinking Scientifically is offering a free online course that provides eight weeks of free online instruction to educators who are interested in embedding computer science within regular school day science classes through the integration of computer modeling and simulation.
The Conference, titled New Mexico's Water Future: Connecting Stakeholder Needs to Water Information, will take place November 18-19 at the La Fonda Hotel in Santa Fe, NM. Register or find out more on the event's website, http://2014.wrri.nmsu.edu/. This is not an EPSCoR-sponsored event.
