Principal investigators (PIs) planning to submit proposals to external sponsors are reminded of Michigan Tech's internal paperwork deadlines, which are summarized on the Vice President for Research Office website.

PIs are also strongly encouraged to complete the Intent to Submit Form as early in their proposal development process as possible. Completing this form is very helpful to personnel supporting the proposal development and submission process from the Vice President for Research Office and across campus. It also reduces the potential for unexpected challenges prior to internal and external deadlines, which may make a submission impossible.

Facilities Management works diligently to remove snow and ice from roads, parking lots, walkways and building entrances. Daily fluctuations in temperature and differences in sun and shade can create icy conditions. Beware of black ice and slippery conditions on pavement that has been cleared, particularly in the morning or in areas that are shaded from the sun.

Everyone is reminded to take extra care when walking on campus. Choose appropriate footwear that will provide traction on snow and ice. Take small, slow and deliberate steps, and watch out for slick spots.

If you encounter slippery conditions, report them to Facilities Management at 483-SNOW (7669) or 7-0001.

Women’s History Month inspires both celebration and reflection on the role of women scientists/engineers across the STEM fields: Women have contributed to scientific endeavors throughout history despite disparagement, marginalization, discrediting and invisibility. This week, we call attention to some tributes to STEM women. For example, the recently published more-than-600-page “Palgrave Handbook of Women and Science Since 1660” offers a “comprehensive overview of the history of women in science from the late 17th century to the present.” The pages abound with previously unknown contributions by women across STEM fields.

Similarly, journal issues devoted to the recognition of women’s contributions to science draw attention to both their presence and marginalization. For example, a recent issue of the International Journal of Radiation Biology featured not only Marie Curie but the work of many women from around the world, highlighting historic contributions, current projects and continuing obstacles. Preserving and disseminating these stories is important to garner both scientific acknowledgement and public recognition. To these ends, a speaker series initiated by the University of Illinois Archives is a proactive outreach program to bring visibility to long-hidden contributions of women scientists at the University of Illinois and counter their absence in the cultural heritage. (If you would like to learn more about past and present Michigan Tech women and their contributions to STEM, be sure to inquire with the Michigan Tech Archives at copper@mtu.edu.)

Amid these celebrations, we take note of the recent announcement by the nonprofit advocacy group, 500 Women Scientists, that their operations need to be curtailed. Established in 2016 in order to promote the infrastructure necessary for women scientists to conduct research, 500 Women Scientists reminds us of the value of collective efforts to realize gender inclusivity throughout STEM. As the founders observed, “Despite a larger public reckoning with structural inequities, ... efforts to break down racism and oppression in science have often been performative rather than affecting meaningful change.” We note that at Michigan Tech, ADVANCE initiatives such as the Advocates & Allies in conjunction with the Office for the Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion promote sense of belonging for all. Now is the moment to build on our momentum to continue advancing women in STEM across our academic units and throughout our campus community.

Today’s feature was shared with us by the Advance PI team. If you have an article you think we should feature, please email it to advance-mtu@mtu.edu and we will consider adding it to the ADVANCE Weekly Roundup.

The ADVANCE Weekly Roundup is brought to you by ADVANCE at Michigan Tech, an NSF-funded initiative dedicated to improving faculty career success, retention, diversity, equity and inclusion. Past articles are available on the ADVANCE Newsblog.

Dean David Hemmer of the College of Sciences and Arts has selected Tim Wagner, an assistant teaching professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences (Math), as the featured instructor this week in the Deans’ Teaching Showcase.

Wagner will be recognized at an end-of-term event with other showcase members and is a candidate for the CTL Instructional Award Series.

Wagner regularly teaches lower-division math courses, including Abstract Algebra I and II, Calculus I and II, Introduction to Combinatorics, Introduction to Cryptography, and Quantitative Literacy. He also serves as co-director of the Math Learning Center and as Calculus II coordinator, where he recently developed blended learning materials to provide additional student support.

Wagner’s enthusiasm for teaching is reflected in his consistently high student evaluation scores in end-of-term surveys, where he has often ranked among the top 10% of instructors University-wide. He strives to promote a positive and engaging environment in his classroom. “I work at building rapport with my students by maintaining an optimistic, welcoming and energetic attitude. This helps students stay engaged and eager to learn,” said Wagner. “As I teach, I keep a positive tone. I tell students that it is normal to struggle with difficult material, but also encourage them that they are able to conquer it. I often ask students to explain concepts back to me and give encouragement when they get it right.”

Wagner takes pride in being approachable and available to his students outside of the classroom. “I regularly remind my students of my office hours and encourage them to seek my help if they are struggling. I sometimes offer extended office hours before exams to provide extra assistance, and I regularly host optional exam review sessions,” he said.

Maintaining student motivation for learning is an established teaching strategy that Wagner regularly addresses. In his Cryptography class, concepts like elementary number theory can seem detached from course objectives. “To encourage students that it is important information to learn, I explain that they will use these number theoretic concepts extensively at a later time when studying important cryptosystems,” said Wagner.

Wagner also believes good teachers should be receptive to changing their teaching methods to optimize student learning. “I have on occasion been encouraged by faculty members to adjust some aspects of my teaching. I gratefully listen to their advice and work at improving in the areas they suggest,” he said. Student feedback is also solicited regularly via anonymous surveys midway through the semester. This feedback helps him address issues to help enhance their learning experience. “As I have incorporated these practices in the classroom, the positive influence on student learning has been undeniable,” said Wagner.

Math Department Chair Jiguang Sun noted Wagner’s work in co-developing a secure Zoom-based remote proctoring system during the pandemic as another important contribution. He also developed a training workshop to further support the system’s use in the department. “Dr. Tim Wagner is a wonderful instructor and department citizen. It is my pleasure to nominate him for the Deans’ Teaching Showcase,” said Sun.

Bob Cowling, GIS data librarian in the Geospatial Research Facility, has won the 2023 American Library Association Best Emerging Technology Application Award for the 3D Explorer web application.

The 3D Explorer is an original, custom-built web application that holistically maps and virtualizes library space, as well as the library information assets contained in that space. One might consider the application as a “digital twin” of its physical library counterpart. The application integrates open-source web development technologies with state-of-the-art geographic information systems (GIS) and 3D modeling technologies. Users are empowered to explore and discover the virtual library environment as they would the physical library environment.

The Michigan Tech Bachelor of Science in Computer Science has been ranked No. 7 in the 2023 rankings from Best Accredited Colleges, outranking Colorado School of Mines (No. 8), Carnegie Mellon University, Harvard University, Cornell and numerous other top U.S. universities.

Best Accredited Colleges uses an objective ranking methodology that considers accessibility, affordability, quality of education and return on investment to ensure that it is highlighting well-rounded schools, according to the organizations's website.

ADVANCE Advocates and Allies Workshops

Have you noticed that different people have vastly different experiences in classes, meetings, informal and formal events, and other interactions on campus? Ever noticed that this is dependent upon visually identifiable characteristics (gender, skin color, etc.)? Would you like to learn more about becoming an ally in the moment and to help intentionally craft the culture at Michigan Tech to position every single individual for success (not just those who fit the "historically typical" mold)?

The ADVANCE Initiative Program is proud to present two workshops, with one goal: “Stand together in the quest for gender and racial equity.”

The first workshop, to be held next Friday (March 31), is for first-time attendees or for those who wish to refresh their understanding on inclusion. The second workshop will be held April 28 for returning attendees who want to deep-dive into strategies for creating an inclusive climate. You are invited to attend one of two sessions in each workshop, held concurrently, to explore the impact of gender and race on faculty members’ experiences of the University campus climate. Through a review of the existing research and group discussions, these sessions will seek to shift the dialogue from individual problems and solutions experienced by underrepresented faculty to seeking to acknowledge and identify institutional challenges and solutions related to gender and racial inequity in higher education.

If you'd simply like to learn more about these issues in a collegial environment, please attend. If you would like to learn strategies to be an ally, attend and bring a friend! You are welcome to participate in both workshops. 

This workshop will be led by Michigan Tech's own Advocate Team members (cisgender-men-only session) and by ADVANCE's PI team/Advocates and Allies Advisory Board members (women and other genders session). Details on Advocates and Allies are available on the ADVANCE webpage.

Lunch will be served at this workshop, so please RSVP in advance.

Details:

• Workshop 1 — ADVANCE Advocates and Allies Introductory Workshop
  
  • When: Friday, March 31, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
  • Where: MUB Alumni Lounge
  • Who: This workshop is intended for faculty and staff who have not attended an ADVANCE Advocates and Allies Workshop in the past.
    
    
• Workshop 2 — ADVANCE Advocates and Allies Deep Dive Workshop
  • When: Friday April 28, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
  • Where: Noblet 143 and 144
  • Who: This workshop is intended for faculty and staff who want to acquire in-depth understanding in creating an inclusive climate.

This workshop is being sponsored by the Advocates Team, the Advocates and Allies Advisory Board (A3B) and the ADVANCE Initiative at Michigan Tech.

ADVANCE at Michigan Tech is an NSF-funded initiative dedicated to improving faculty career success, retention, diversity, equity and inclusion.

Chemistry Seminar with Louisa Hope-Weeks

Louisa Hope-Weeks from Texas Tech University will be presenting her seminar "Porous materials: From aerogels to energetic materials" for the next seminar in the Chemistry Seminar Series.

The presentation will be held today (March 24) at 3 p.m. in Chem Sci 101.

From the abstract:
Currently, there are many important applications for low-density, porous materials which exhibit tunable morphologies and composition. The applications for these materials are diverse and include catalysis, sensing, energy storage, filtration, and water purification. To this end, we have investigated a relatively simple process to form monolithic organic and inorganic simple, composite, and complex oxides in various applications. Utilizing this simple technique, sol-gel materials were prepared from cheap readily available starting materials. The gels were dried either by supercritical solvent extraction or by ambient temperature drying. The resulting porous monolithic materials are composed of an interconnecting network of particles with nanoscale dimensions. The materials were characterized via SEM, TEM, XRD, and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms. The analysis shows that the morphology and crystalline nature of the sol-gel materials are dependent on the initial metal salt, the solvent system, and concentration. Calcinating the dried gel often resulted in the crystallization of single or mixed-phase metal oxide; analysis indicates that the calcined materials were nanocrystalline. The average crystallite sizes of these materials were determined from XRD line broadening and were in good agreement with the SEM and TEM results.
