Community Resources for Science的动态

When you ask a development professional why they do what they do, you can get all kinds of answers — everything from “This place changed my life” to “I believe in our mission” to “I love helping people pursue their passions.” However, when it comes to higher education, the answer to this question is usually the same — “For the students!” Education has a profound and transformational impact on our lives and as current and former students, we all remember educational experiences that changed our lives, our beliefs, our interests, our professional trajectories. The Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV’s annual Student Research Symposium is one such experience. For our students, it is an opportunity learn, explore, consider, and discover. This symposium is one of the hallmarks of our medical school experience, challenging students to question, hypothesize, investigate, and report their findings — the very essence of the scientific method writ large across the Undiscovered Country that is the healthcare landscape in Las Vegas and Southern Nevada. #UNLV

12-Step Fellowship Texts and Their Interpretation Today: Wendy Dossett Wendy states the key message that she wants to get more widely known, including in professional and clinical circles, is the ‘diversity and creativity of people who engage with that concept and how they interpret it.’ These people are not just sitting back and accepting a 1930s concept—they are engaging with it, but bringing their own experience and interpretation to it. https://lnkd.in/gajwGSHY

Milwaukee: your lab coats are machine-washable. No need to dry-clean ahead of Escuela Verde's #communitysciencefair on March 15. For those tuning in late, I organized three #sciencefairs for grown-ups in the '00s as Cedar Block. Joey Zocher, PhD and R. Justin Hougham, Ph.D. asked if we could reboot them for an annual event with community members AND EV students in 2016. They turned my quirky idea into something I couldn't have imagined. #ScienceStrikesBack is beautiful, brilliant and substantive in singularly inspiring ways. You can and should attend. The video at the link below shows it in action. These kids -- I think the world is gonna be alright. Consider participating, as it's open to anyone who misses doing science fairs or never got an opportunity. I participated as a civilian in February 2020, winning 1st place in the Technology division for building a functional time machine. My life has more space than it has in recent years so I submitted an application this morning for a project that considers the biology of artificial intelligence. Okay I'm done. This is simply my favorite experience in town. It makes me happier than a Bucks game or the Art Museum. "Science Strikes Back (SSB) aims to encourage community members in #Milwaukee to critically analyze #environmentalissues and solve problems in their communities. Through the development of collaborative relationships between students, educators, and content specialists from locally-based organizations, Science Strikes Back will produce a strong network in Milwaukee for continued #environmentaleducation and #naturalresourcestewardship. Inspiring an interest in our #GreatLakeswatershed, supporting #studentinquiry in #communityissues and advancing dialogue around #environmentaljustice all are examples of how SSB hopes to support science in Milwaukee." https://lnkd.in/dgKY_xgd

?? Explore Part 3 of the Postdoc Visibility Project's latest installment! As we delve deeper into the postdoc community, we turn our focus to a vital aspect: gratitude and acknowledgement within this dynamic cohort.

This is the week - if you (or your organization, department, project) are leading on a topic or area of practices in participatory sciences, consider submitting an idea for a symposium or workshop for the May 27-30, 2025, conference in Portland, OR. Deadline for ideas is this Friday, 20 Sept. Please share with colleagues advancing #citizenscience #communityscience #participatorysciences #volunteermonitoring #crowdscience #communitybasedresearch ...

Join us in honouring the accomplishments of SU’s newly appointed professors or those who have been promoted to full professor during 2023! ?? In the upcoming months, we'll showcase their inaugural lectures, which offer these professors the opportunity to share their knowledge, scientific discoveries, and even personal journeys in their respective fields. In 2023, Professor Wesaal Khan, from the Department of Microbiology in the Faculty of Science, presented her inaugural lecture titled "Safe water is a human right: Overcoming the last hurdle towards water security for all." Watch the full lecture here: https://lnkd.in/dhwTPnge

The new academic year begins with conferences for me:

Please connect with me if you have any questions after the NCURA: National Council of University Research Administrators Annual Meeting!

? Join me next week for a fabulous conversation about understanding how the idea of "expertise" shifts mightily when you leave the academy, and how you can thrive in the new context! #postac #altac
