Description from Shimadzu: This full-day seminar on Thursday Aug. 8 at York College will discuss how Raman and IR are complimentary spectroscopy, and will feature hands-on workshops.  If you have any contacts that are interested in IR or Raman technology please let them know that we are hosting this seminar and featuring our new AIRsight Raman/IR microscope.  This is the only microscope out there that can work both wave ranges. Registration is free and includes lunch. 

Sign up by August 1 (only 50 seats are available). https://ssi-shimadzu-8076067.hs-sites.com/ftir-raman

F&M is hiring a tenure-track position in Microbial Ecology and I wanted to pass along the job ad: https://apply.interfolio.com/148570

As a Penn State alum, I would be happy to talk to any late-stage grad students or post-docs about teaching and doing research at a small liberal arts college. I would selfishly love a colleague who also studies microbial eukaryotes 🙂

Hope all is well in State College!!

Hi everyone,
We are excited to announce EcoSpatial Summit: Spatial Data Analysis and Visualization for Bees and Beyond, hosted by the Penn State Center for Pollinator Research and Institute for Sustainable Agricultural, Food and Environmental Sciences. The EcoSpatial Summit brings together both experts and novices to foster knowledge sharing, collaboration, and innovation around applications of the spatial datasets featured in the Beescape platform and beyond. This workshop is aimed at researchers, data scientists, and students working at the interface of spatial data, ecosystem services, and online platforms. We will be discussing the Beecape platform and how the data layers behind it can be used to support research on conservation and ecosystem services of pollinators and beyond. We will also be workshopping a new Bee Shiny tool which will make it easier to access the land use, habitat quality, weather and climate data currently featured in Beescape. Participants can expect insightful talks from experts, engaging discussions on the latest trends and developments, interactive workshops to access Beescape data for research applications, and networking opportunities to connect with other researchers. 
DATES  October 10-11, 2024 
LOCATION  Penn State University 
300 Science Park Road, University Park, PA 

COST  FREE! Funding for this workshop is provided by the USDA NIFA Data Science for Food and Agricultural Systems Program project 2021-67021-34146

Dear all,

We may have a one- to two-year Visiting Assistant Professor position opening up for Organic Chemistry beginning this Fall.  I know it is short notice, but if you are aware of a candidate who may benefit from this position, perhaps as a stepping stone to a career in teaching, please have them reach out to me with their CV. 

Thank you for your help, and I hope you are enjoying your summer.
