Past Events
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.
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
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.
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.
The New Mexico Alliance for Minority Participation (New Mexico AMP) invites you to attend its Undergraduate Research Conference at the Las Cruces Convention Center, September 29 – October 1 , 2016.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
