Winter Term - Week 4

Wow! Did you feel that earthquake this morning? The U.S. Geological Survey reports that it was a 3.8-magnitude quake originated in the York, ME area!

The USGS is an agency comprised of biologists, geologists, geographers, and hydrologists who study natural resources and hazards, including earthquake activity. Did you know that you can help them collect data? By filling out this survey, you can help build out the database of knowledge about how this kind of activity impacts people and structures. This is a great example of citizen science!

GWISE x WISP Journal Club

There is still time to register for the GWISE x WISP Journal Club! Dartmouth’s Graduate Women in Science & Engineering (GWISE) team has generously offered to cohost a series of sessions during winter and spring term! Journal clubs are a fundamental part of the graduate experience and are also a great way for undergraduates to learn how to engage with scholarly materials. Some other great reasons to participate include:

• Better understand how to read a science paper and gain key take-aways

• Learn how to analyze and debate science literature

• Become more comfortable asking questions and speaking up in a group

• Learn about methodologies and disciplines beyond your own

• Gain insight and inspiration for your own research projects

• Network with graduate women who have been where you are!

This is an incredible opportunity to learn about the work of our graduate student partners and expand your skills as an aspiring scientist. Sessions will most likely be held on select Tuesdays at 5:30-7PM in the LSC. The first two sessions are scheduled for Feb 11 and Feb 25. Materials will be sent ahead to those who register. It’s the expectation that registrants will attend all 6 sessions unless there is a scheduling conflict. Please register ASAP, as there will be a cap of about 20 participants per session, with a waiting list for those who register later.

And there will be food!
