Past Events
Online platforms like Kickstarter and IndieGoGo have revolutionized the way makers, gamers, app designers, and artists fund their new ventures. Crowdfunding has become so prolific it is set to surpass venture capital funds in 2016. Now famous brands such as Oculus Rift and Pebble Watch got their start on crowdfunding sites.
Interdisciplinary Innovation Working Groups (I-IWG) provide a venue for researchers, educators, and nationally recognized experts to address grand challenges that require an interdisciplinary approach to transform science. Successful I-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 increasing knowledge in research areas relevant to Energize New Mexico.

Drawing from examples within the taxonomic and natural history collection communities, this webinar will detail the data types and challenges of biological specimen data. We’ll explore the value and import of data quality open resources, the current status of data assurance practices as well as some more practical 'how-to’ examples of implementing data quality assurance (QA) methods. For example, QA of publicly shared data is critical for effective use and reuse. As part of the data life cycle, QA often occurs following the collection of data.
The NM EPSCoR State Office observes the same winter break as the University of New Mexico. Our office will be closed from December 23 to January 1. We will reopen on Janurary 4, 2016.
Historically, energy policy has been developed without considering the impact on water and climate policy may not consider the impact on energy. Solutions to these complex problems requires policy that considers tradeoffs between systems and is acceptable to society. EPSCoR Social and Natural Science Nexus component co-lead Dr. Janie Chermak will discuss her research on some of the interactions between systems and the impact of people’s taste and preferences with a focus on NM’s energy and water sectors, and how the state’s attitudes about energy development may impact policy.

Our State Office in Albuquerque is closed for the Thanksgiving holiday from Thursday, November 26 to Sunday, November 29.
Adult Night debuted at Explora in November 2004, and has grown into an evening popular with college students, young professionals, parents and grandparents on their night off from the kids, meet-up and singles groups, folks on date night, active retirement groups, and more.
Many abandoned uranium (U) mine waste sites remain in the Western U.S. More than 500 sites are located in Native American lands. Adequate remediation of these sites represents at least a multimillion dollar federal investment. It is necessary to understand the chemical and physical characteristics of these abandoned mine wastes for adequate management. Join EPSCoR researcher Dr. Cerrato as he discusses this critical problem and his research on abandoned mine wastes in Native American communities in central-western New Mexico and northeastern Arizona.
