Ten scientists at the University of New Mexico were recently selected for the 2018 Women in STEM awards. Their work on eight separate projects includes research on smart grass that could generate energy, the effects of head injuries in professional fighters and better ways to take medicine.
The University of New Mexico School of Engineering will be a partner for the 2018 Sandia National Laboratories’ Nonlinear Mechanics and Dynamics (NOMAD) Summer Research Institute.
Imagine leaving your home to go on a walk around the block, a familiar path you’ve walked many times. After a few steps into your walk, you look around and begin to feel like you don’t know where you are - nothing looks familiar.
As research data and technology become more prevalent, so does the need for people who can analyze it. Thanks to a new three-year, $250,000 grant, University Libraries and Learning Sciences will be able to work towards improving the quality, discovery and use of research data management training materials in multiple areas.
For decades, scientists have conducted research centered around the five major mass extinctions that have shaped the world we live in. The extinctions date back more than 450 million years with the Late Ordovician Mass Extinction to the deadliest extinction, the Late Permian extinction 250 million years ago that wiped out over 90 percent of species.
