* NSF’s Vizzies Challenge, *
Dear Fellows and Coordinating Officials,
NSF’s Vizzies Challenge, now in its 16th year, invites researchers and
members of the general public to submit their best science or
engineering visualization. In partnership with PopSci.com, this year’s
Vizzies closes on April 15th, and we need your help to get the word out
about the Challenge!
Entries may be submitted by individuals or by teams by visiting www.nsf.gov/Vizzies.
NSF and PopSci.com will feature the winning entries on their respective
websites. In addition, up to 5 Experts’ Choice winning entries will
receive $2,000 each, and up to 3 People’s Choice winning entries will
receive $500 each. You can learn more about the competition and view
previous year’s winners at www.nsf.gov/Vizzies.
In the past, NSF has featured winning visualizations on many NSF
products, including brochures, banners, and social media, and coverage
of the winners has been extensive, with articles appearing in The
Washington Post.
Thank you for considering this Challenge. Please share this opportunity
with your colleagues!

* Working with Minors at Dartmouth *
**The Office of the General Counsel and Dartmouth's minors protection
officer
want to make sure everyone is aware of College and New Hampshire
requirements
regarding minors. Throughout the year, Dartmouth shares its facilities
and
expertise through many programs that serve minors, defined for these
purposes
as people who are under 18 and are not Dartmouth students.

Deadline: March 31, 2018
For students, researchers, faculty, and practitioners in the fields of
computer science and journalism with research projects in these areas:
Computation, Algorithms, and Automated Journalism
Data, Metrics, and Impact

* Programming and Pizza *
Hello Kerry,
Happy Pi Day! Programming N' Pizza will be celebrating with Raspberry Pi
and perhaps a pie or two.
Programming N' Pizza is a crowd-learning initiative led by the Dartmouth
Library and Research Computing. It is an opportunity for the entire
Dartmouth community to share, teach and learn programming skills in a
casual, fun environment, where beginners and more advanced users can
help each other. Each PNP participant can both help and be helped, and
learn and teach skills that they want to share or pickup. You may have
specific questions you'd like to ask from another participant, or just
get started on some new programming and computational skills.
Programming languages (non-exhaustive list)
R, Python, Perl, JavaScript / HTML5, Java, C, C++, C#, LaTeX, SQL /
Databases, Matlab, Maple, Mathematica, PHP, HTML, Stata, SAS, SPSS, Bash/Linux,
etc...
All are welcome!

* Ethics Facilitator Training *
Ethics Facilitator Training, 2018
The School of Graduate and Advanced Studies in collaboration with the
Ethics Institute at Dartmouth developed an institution-wide program of
training in the basics of professional ethics for first year graduate
students. The Graduate Ethics Program has three main components: an
opening session during orientation, four small group discussions on
focal topics to be taken fall term of the first year of graduate school,
and an online ethics survey. For students involved in animal and/or
human research, there is also a winter seminar series in January that
covers the ethics of using human and animal subjects in research,
intellectual property rights (including patents), and conflict of
interest.
The four fall ethics meetings are run in small groups facilitated by a
faculty, postdoc, or senior graduate student. To prepare facilitators to
lead these classes, Allan Gulledge, Associate professor of Molecular &
Systems Biology, offers a four-part ethics training course for future
facilitators focusing on content and delivery of the relevant ethics
topics. Graduate students, postdocs, administrators, and faculty who
attend the sessions will gain skills in case-style teaching methods and
develop a framework for thinking about ethical issues that occur in the
course of science research. Those who attend the training sessions will
then facilitate their own small group workshops for first year students
in the fall of 2018. Trainers will receive $50 per facilitated session
this fall.
If you are interested in the Training for Trainers course, please
sign-up at https://libcal.dartmouth.edu/event/4044638 and email Kerry
Landers a brief statement of interest in teaching ethics and a copy of
your cv/resume for consideration to be selected by April 9. Trainers are
expected to attend all the workshops listed below.
The facilitator training sessions will occur on the following dates in
Vail 513:
Professionalism, Monday, April 23, 2-4 pm
Mentoring, Monday, April 30, 2-4 pm
Authorship/Peer Review, Monday, May 7 , 2-4 pm
Data Collection, Monday, May 14, 2-4 pm
* Poster Session Sign-Up *
Get Ready for the Graduate Student Poster Session Sign-up
Sign-up to Present a Poster at the Dartmouth Graduate Student Poster
Session: Link below, but will not be active until Friday, March 16 @ 8:30
am.
https://dartmouth.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8u0cmty6IByXeYZ
The poster session is scheduled for Wednesday, April 4, 5-7:30 pm in
Alumni Hall. Presenters must be able to attend the full session.
(Since there are limited spaces, now is the time to check with your
advisor to see if s/he would like you to present. FYI… in the past,
advisors have asked me why their students are not presenting.)
The poster session, scheduled for Wednesday, April 4, 5-7:30 pm in
Alumni Hall is being organized as part of Graduate Student Appreciation
Week and will display posters by Dartmouth graduate students. The poster
session is to display to other graduate students/postdocs, undergraduate
students, faculty, and administrators the research and scholarly
activity currently underway at Dartmouth.
Prizes of $200 will be awarded for the top three posters.
Posters will be judged on clarity of visual presentation, as well as on
how well the poster presenter can talk (briefly, 3 minutes!) about his/her
work in terms understandable by a non-specialist (though the poster
itself may be highly technical). In addition, only one presenter per
poster.
**** Poster Size****
We encourage you to use the School of Graduate and Advanced Studies Logo
on your posters.
FYI...
Your poster should be no larger than 3 feet wide by 4 feet long. If for
some reason your poster is larger, then you will be responsible for
making sure it hangs on the allotted space.
Please note:
Only posters will be allowed for the presentation of your work i.e. that
means no use of computers or other technical equipment. Additionally,
only one person can present each poster.
