internship, but it was a funny coincidence, and he knew enough about the work to know that it would be a good fit for me. So I made that one of my applications, and that just happened to be the one I got an interview for, and I’m thankful that was the case. Can you describe your duties as a data analyst?  My job, most of it, is ad hoc. I perform some system checks. So there are lots of systems that data goes through on the way to the Portfolio Analytics and Reporting (PARis) system. I will do automated

“innovative” yet because I need to understand what it actually can mean outside the constraints in which it’s been formulated.Jen: Right. There were ways before our current ways. And so are we to look at our D&I work as a “new” way? Or does removing the cloaks of the various systems of oppression to uncover the ways that were there before, specifically indigenous ways, move us to whatever goals we have around D&I work? Maya: Yeah. And I keep thinking about diversity and inclusion as values, as things that

take on projects that improve public health and reduce disease. “We feel there’s plenty of water, we just need to capture it and use it correctly,” McKenney said. McKenney highlighted three of their current projects in Oaxaca, Mexico in his discussion Friday morning. The projects include building 8,000-gallon rainwater catchment systems as part of a rainwater harvesting program in the Bravo Ahuja district of Oaxaca, creating a wetland for sewage treatment in Santo Domingo Barrio Bajo Etla, and

water projects, according to Puwein. Simple water filtration systems and wells would lead to a better life for these women and their children. “Scarcity of water is a threat to human life,” Puwein said. About 30 individuals came to her Puwein’s discussion, including first-year Jess Tveit, who intends to study abroad in India next spring. “I was surprised by how many women work in the mines,” Tveit said. “I didn’t know how bad the water contamination was.” Read Previous ‘Water is the great teacher

years to continue his research with students into polymers and ion conductors that could revolutionize the lithium-ion batteries used in cars and other vehicles.Polymers that can conduct ions are important for many emerging technologies, such as lithium-ion batteries and next-generation batteries, as well as new types of polymer-based transistors that could be used as sensors in biological systems. These materials may lead to increased safety and performance of batteries, which is crucial as their

As a public utility, we operate and maintain one of the country’s oldest municipally owned water systems and serve more than 300,000 residential and commercial customers. We are looking for people who can bring a fresh perspective to the work we do while supporting staff on a variety of projects.

The Superfund Center concentrates on newly identified pollutant-particle systems including environmentally persistent free radicals (EPFRs). We have a large (141 students) and diverse group of graduate students in our program, essentially all supported on assistantships or fellowships. We put a large

University’s Doctor of Nursing Practice prepares students to develop and evaluate quality care within a health system, collaborate with interprofessional teams to improve health outcomes, and be leaders in the nursing profession.  Our DNP program prepares nurses at the highest level of proficiency as they learn to translate science into clinical practice. Students develop the skills to lead collaboratively, integrate research into care, and design better healthcare delivery systems. Interested in getting a
