In this webinar, you'll experience the basic principles of user experience design and how to apply them to making the system of science more efficient and fun to use. You will see seminal, universally-applicable design research communicated through animations, live demos, and silly graphics. At the end, you will (hopefully) have leveled-up your approach to designing all forms of science communication (especially posters, but this will apply to reports, presentations, and tools too).

Abstracts for the 2021 New Mexico Research Symposium has been extended to October 15, 2021 Register for the symposium and submit an abstract here.

The Team Science Leadership Training is a three-day residential workshop targeted for mid-career or senior faculty to develop skills for managing collaborative, interdisciplinary, and complex projects. Key elements of the training include: building and leading diverse and productive teams, project management skills, strategic planning, and communications. Lodging, meals, and workshop materials will be provided.

Every year the New Mexico SMART Grid Center submits three highlights from the previous project year to the National Science Foundation. This year's highlights recognize "DC Street" at NMSU, seed award results from NMT, and the Explora Science Communication Fellowship program. Below are overviews of what these outstanding project team members are working on - summarized in 250 words or less.  IT'S GOOD TO BE DIRECT Olga Lavrova, New Mexico State University

We are excited to announce the 2021 Infrastructure Seed Award program awardees and share a report from 2020 award recipient Dr. Caitano da Silva. The Infrastructure Seed Award program is designed to support transformative research and capacity building across New Mexico’s higher education institutions in emerging smart grid areas (e.g., STEM, computer science, electrical and computer engineering, cyberinfrastructure, and workforce development).

We are delighted to announce that Dr. Selena Connealy has been appointed to the position of Associate Director for the New Mexico Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (NM EPSCoR) after six months serving as Interim Associate Director following the departure of Anne Jakle in late 2020.
