Journal of Advanced Technological Education Writers Group Presentation

The Journal of Advanced Technological Education (J ATE) is a fairly new peer-reviewed publication that promotes publications by and for educators who are interested in teaching advanced technologies and technician education. This includes 2-year community college faculty, undergraduate researchers, STEM educators in grades K-12, university faculty, as well as industry personnel.

J ATE invites you to attend their Friday, May 26 interview at 3:00 PM EDT, where published author, Ismail Fidan, and his colleagues April Cheung, Venancio Fuentes, and, Martin Reed will discuss their paper, Overview of ABET Accreditation from the Perspective of Two-Year Programs.

There is no fee to attend. Learn more and find the Zoom link at micronanoeducation.org/event/j-ate-writers-group-presentation.
 

2023 Multicell Virtual-Tissue Modeling Online Summer School and Hackathon

Registration is now open for the 2023 Multicell Virtual-Tissue Modeling Online Summer School and Hackathon at Indiana University, Bloomington, taking place July 31 to August 13, 2023.

Learn to model your biological system of interest with one-on-one help. Following a week of CompuCell 3D (CC3D) basics, and a week of advanced topics in CC3D, the workshop culminates with a 2-day model-building hackathon where physicists, biologists, computer scientists, and modelers team up to build research-grade models of biological systems. All experience levels are welcome.

For more information, email compucell3d.iu@gmail.com or visit www.compucell3d.org/Workshop23. Register at: www.tinyurl.com/CC3D2023.
 
 
 

Science Gateways 2023 Annual Conference

Call for Participation
Join the Science Gateways Community for their annual Gateways Conference, held Monday, October 30 - Wednesday, November 1, 2023 in Pittsburgh.


Gateways 2023 is an opportunity for people working with science gateways to showcase their ability to teach, empower and engage research, and provide technologies to various communities. There will be diverse options for sharing work and networking. The format includes tutorial sessions, presentations, panels, posters, demos, and a BYOP - Bring Your Own Portal.

Submissions of papers and abstracts are currently being accepted. The deadline for presentations, demos, panels, and tutorials is June 5, 2023, and BYOP and poster submissions are due August 7, 2023. Find out more, including submission timeline and instructions by visiting sciencegateways.org/gateways2023-cfp.


FacultyHack@Gateway2023
The Faculty Hackathon at Science Gateways 2023 will involve five teams of two Computer Science faculty or one Computer Science and one related discipline area faculty.

Faculty teams will adapt High-Performance Computing (HPC) tools for use in their courses. They will leave with "ready-to-go" course outlines, supporting data, and identified resources. Each team will be assigned a technical mentor to help with this process. Teams completing all four challenges receive a $1000 honorarium.
