In our first WoW session of 2023, we will hear from speakers engaging in international research in two very different fields. We invite you to come and learn more about GW's impactful international engagement, while networking with your colleagues. As we plan to resume providing light snacks, please register so we can plan appropriately!  

Speakers for February 15th, 2023

Catherine Arsenault

Department of Global Health, Milken Institute School of Public Health

"Covid under-vaccination in the US, Italy and Mexico: preliminary findings from nationally representative surveys"

 
Abstract: Beyond the influence of demographic factors (such as income, education or political beliefs), little is known about how vaccine hesitant individuals interact with the health system, whether and how they use other preventive health services, and how they rate the overall quality of the health system. Using data collected in December 2022, this presentation will explore the characteristics of Covid unvaccinated individuals in three countries.

Alexander van der Horst

Department of Physics, Columbian College of Arts & Sciences

"ThunderKATs Going Strong: Studying Cosmic Fireworks with MeerKAT"

 
Abstract: The MeerKAT observatory in South Africa is a new-generation radio telescope with unique characteristics, producing unprecedented images of the radio sky and contributing to various astronomical discoveries. It is a great tool for studying the most extreme objects in the Universe, including stellar explosions and outbursting black holes. This talk highlights some key results from MeerKAT, obtained by a team of ThunderKATs, which are important for planning the next generation of radio telescopes across the globe.

What are WoW TALKs?

The WoW TALK (What’s Our Work) Series brings together colleagues and students from disciplines associated with GW's Science and Engineering Hall—and related fields—to present new research and share ideas. These short talks (15 minutes each) are designed to introduce members of the GW community to current and exciting research projects, to initiate discussion, collaborate, share expertise, and to promote research performed in the SEH and at GW.

These talks are an opportunity to gain awareness of the different kinds of important work being done in the sciences here at GW, and can open the door for future collaboration opportunities.

Students are welcome to attend.

All WoW TALK sessions are held via Zoom when virtual and in Science and Engineering Hall B1220 when in-person.

To be considered to speak at a future session, please contact us at ccasres@gwu.edu

 NSF CAREER Workshop Series

The NSF CAREER award is both a highly prestigious and highly competitive funding opportunity for early-career faculty. This year’s deadline for submissions is July 26, 2021.

In this series of three two-hour workshops, we will work together to learn the details of the program and strategies for success from current and former NSF program staff, experienced faculty, and past CAREER awardees. As part of the workshop, faculty will draft their proposal summary, broader impacts and education plan and receive feedback from peers and experts.

Friday, April 23, 12:00-2:00pm - Overview of the CAREER Program by former NSF Program Director Ken Chong; discussion with a variety of CAREER awardees

Monday, May 10, 12:00-2:00pm - Important CAREER Program Aspects: Educational Plan and Broader Impacts by Judy Wang, current NSF Program Director

Monday, May 17, 12:00-2:00pm - Overview of other documents, including new rules and SciENcv; brief presentation by Megan Potterbush on SciENcv, ORCID, Data Management Plans and how to get help on these


Note: This is a cumulative workshop series. Homework should be shared with workshop organizers and exchanged with other individuals in your small group in advance of upcoming sessions, group members should give peer feedback before upcoming sessions.

Published on Leave a comment on Research Town Halls

The CCAS Research Advisory Council (RAC) surveyed the faculty about the research impacts of COVID-19. After analyzing the results, the committee felt the best way to address many of the concerns was to hold two Town Halls to discuss general research concerns and those pertaining to research with human subjects:

Human Subjects Research Town Hall, with representatives from GW’s IRB team: Tuesday, December, 15th 12:00 - 1:00pm

General Research Town Hall, with CCAS ADR, for any outstanding comments or concerns: Thursday, December 17th, 11:00am - 12:00 noon

Slides from each event:
Human Subjects Town Hall Slides 
Human Subjects Town Hall Summary
