Volunteers Needed for 2016 SURF Symposium August 4
by Ye Lu 30 Jun '16

30 Jun '16

Dear Researchers and Graduate Students: The Purdue Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) program will host the annual SURF Research Symposium on Thursday, August 4, 2016. We are very excited to have 147 undergraduate students from Purdue and other universities presenting their research via poster and oral presentations! The research topics will span multiple engineering, science, and agricultural disciplines. We would like to take this opportunity to invite you to participate in the SURF Symposium as a session chair (facilitators of the oral presentations) or judge (poster or oral).We need many professional judges to evaluate oral and poster presentations throughout the day. We are asking volunteers to judge for approximately 1.5- to 2-hour blocks (but we would be grateful if judges could stay for multiple sessions!). The SURF students appreciate that Purdue scientists and engineers, and the surrounding community come to the symposium to learn about their research projects. If you would like to help, please complete the following survey by 07/25/2016: https://purdue.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_0D8gJG9Lmhq7DU1 For more information on the SURF please visit: https://engineering.purdue.edu/Engr/Research/SURF/Participants/Summer Please feel free to let us know if you have questions, and we appreciate your participation and support. Sincerely, Ye Lu SURF Graduate Assistant

Invitation to DataHub Summer Workshop - June 28th (9am-2pm) in SC G046
by NSAC 24 Jun '16

24 Jun '16

Dear Colleagues, I am writing to encourage to consider attending a workshop discussing about a new platform for data sharing called DataHub. Details about the workshop can be found in the email thread below. The workshop is scheduled for June 28th (9am-2pm) in SC G046. If you have not already done so, please signup by Sunday evening (June 26) at the link: Link: http://goo.gl/forms/xb8GgHBhOa1G2Aoi1 Thanks, Justus (On behalf of NSAC Officers) ------------------------------ *From:* Lucas A Laughery *Sent:* Thursday, June 16, 2016 3:38 PM *To:* Justus C Ndukaife; ochoam(a)purdue.edu; aida.ebrahimi(a)gmail.com *Subject:* DataHub Summer Workshop - 28 June Hello, You may already have seen the email thread with Prof. Shakouri. I am a PhD student working with a team to build a platform for organizing, preserving, and sharing data. That platform is called DataHub <https://datacenterhub.org/> (datacenterhub.org) DataHub is like a self-serve database, with features like: - A tabular structure to make it easy to search across datasets - Simple dataset creation (3-steps) - Multi-user dataset editing - Custom parameters that are displayed right alongside your data - so users can search your dataset using any parameters you want. Here's an example <https://datacenterhub.org/dv_dibbs/view/1001:dibbs/parameters_reinforced_co…> from some tests conducted at Bowen Lab where the dataset owner defined custom parameters. We are hosting a half-day workshop on June 28th (9am-2pm) in SC G046. We will provide breakfast and lunch; we ask only that attendees bring data to upload. The data *will not be published* unless the attendee decides to do so. It would be great if some nanotechnology students could attend. Would you be willing to forward the link below to your organization / encourage some students to attend? Link: http://goo.gl/forms/xb8GgHBhOa1G2Aoi1 This link has an intro to DataHub, the agenda, a poll to RSVP, and a funny YouTube video about data preservation that I am sure many grad students can relate to. If you have any questions, please let me know! Thank you, Lucas Laughery PhD Candidate, Structural Engineering Purdue University
