LEARNING BEYOND THE CLASSROOM

Learning Beyond the Classroom (LBC) is open only to students majoring in the College of Science. It is a voluntary program aimed at encouraging you to engage in activities that provide hands-on experience and opportunities to apply classroom knowledge. Successful completion of the LBC program will be noted on your official Purdue transcript. You will also receive a certificate of completion. Participation in LBC involves attending, organizing, or

leading activities that fall into three general categories: career and professional development; service, citizenship and leadership; and experience with domestic and international diversity. Progress in each of the three areas is tracked by a point system. Points are earned by submitting reports on participation in activities. The number of points earned varies with the intensity of the activity. If you plan to do an unpaid internship or similar experience, LCB might be able to provide grant funds to help defray costs. You must be enrolled and have completed 3 points to apply for this grant. Click to enroll:

OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS

THE BELMONT FORUM

The Belmont Forum invites you to share your views and experiences on data publishing, access and use. The Open Data Survey targets researchers of various science communities, interested laypersons, government employees, and others who are providing and/or using open data in the scope of global environmental change, or are planning/interested in doing so in the future. This survey is being developed and distributed by the Belmont Forum E-Inf. & DM CRA WP5 (Further information available at the end of this e-mail).

They are interested to learn more about: - Key open data activities in various communities with global environmental change to identify leading examples of best practice from a user perspective; - Reasons where users’ desire to share can be enhanced by new/other developments; - Barriers to “open data sharing” from a user perspective (as a data provider or data user). Please click on the following link to participate; Open Data Survey:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Open_Data_WP5

Based on the results from the survey, they aim to produce recommendations for research funders on how to support global e-infrastructures using a coordinated and sustainable approach – from the planning phase, implementation, and management of data, analytics and through international collaboration.

Making Weather and Climate Data More Usable for Agriculture Across the U.S. Corn Belt

There exists an abundance of weather and climate data across the United States; however, its applicability and use in industry for informed decision making is lacking, especially in agriculture. Public consensus (from survey data) is that the data is too confusing and famers do not know how to use it to make more informed decisions. Also, farmers distrust trust short-term forecasts, consequently distrusting long-term forecasts as well. This results in minimal use of forecast nformation in the decision making process of seasonal crop production despite the critical roles that temperature and precipitation play in corn production. As part of the Useful to Usable project, an El Niño Southern Oscillation and Arctic Oscillation climatology is generated from historical, observed weather data across the U.S. Corn Belt from 1981-2010 and developed into an online tool catered towards usability by cereal producers in the region with the goal of increasing farm profitability in light of climate variability and change. The social science inquiry, on-line tool development, and climatological findings are discussed in this seminar in hopes to help motivate scientists to consider public use and applicability of his or her research in effort to gain continued support of scientific research.

Long-term Morphological Changes in Mature Supercells Following Merger with Nascent Supercells in Simulation

Despite advances made in forecasting isolated supercell thunderstorms, mergers involving supercells remain a challenge for severe thunderstorm forecasting. In this study, mergers between supercells and ordinary cells are investigated. A series of numerical experiments are performed using an idealized, homogenous environment supportive of cyclonically-rotating, right-moving supercells. Convectivon is initiated by introducing warm bubbles at t=0 and t=3300 s, resulting in two storms of different maturity. The placement of the second bubble is used to control the location of the merger and the relative maturity of the second storm. From these experiments, simplified conceptual models for the long-term (>40 minute) outcomes of mergers are developed. The simplest mode of merger is one in which outflow from the new cell cuts off inflow to the original. If the new cell is not producing a cold pool sufficiently strong to cut off the inflow to the original cell, the minimum separation of the updraft maxima during the merger becomes a key controlling factor in the merger outcome. If the minimum separation of the updraft maxima is less than 10 km, an updraft collision occurs, resulting in a classic supercell. If the minimum separation of the updraft maxima is greater than 20 km and the new cell merges into the forward flank of the original cell, a dual-cell system results. If the minimum separation of the updraft maxima is between 10 and 20 km, the combination of precipitation produced in the updrafts leads to a cold pool surge and subsequent formation of an updraft bridge, joining the updrafts. The outcome in this type of merger is a system with a cold pool that is stronger than the control case, either developing into a small bow echo (with forward-flank mergers) or a supercell on the classic--high-precipitation spectrum (with rear-flank mergers). This outcome is controlled by the distribution of precipitation in the merging system.

All Students eligible to apply for the $ 1000 scholarship from Purdue

This is a bilingual, technology intensive course; it provides an international and multidisciplinary perspective on food security and resources. Focus will be case studies that represent different regions of the world with special emphasis on food security and the changing conditions for tropical agriculture. The case studies, discussed in

the context of the Millennium Development Goals, will help students gain knowledge and understanding of regional variations of food security and resources, sustainable development and socio-economic and political growth throughout the world.

• This is a 3-credit, three-week course, which offers units on social and demographic changes, changes on the physical environment, global climate change, economic systems, and global trade. Purdue will partner with the University of Caldas, UC, and the Technological University of Pereira, UTP.

• The first week will be in Pereira at the UTP, second week is in Manizales at the UC. During these two weeks Purdue Students will have access to the course material: PPT slides with class’s notes, course program, and reading materials in English while their instruction will be in English and Spanish.

• The third week will be back at Purdue with Colombian students and faculty for Team’s presentations; this will be shown via video-conference to other students and Instructors, in Colombia. There will be an extra week for finishing the course’s written paper, in English for Purdue students.

The Scientist and the Storyteller

Ruth Berggren (MD, Harvard Medical School) directs the Center for Medical Humanities and Ethics at the University of Texas Health Sciences Center at San Antonio. The American Academy of Arts and Sciences’ The Heart of the Matter: The Humanities and Social Sciences for a Vibrant, Competitive, and Secure Nation (2013) noted the Center for Medical Humanities and Ethics as an example of an effective cross-disciplinary partnership between the humanities and STEM. The center’s work focuses on four areas: ethics and professionalism, global health, community service learning, and the medical humanities including literature, music, and art.

Ruth Berggren makes the case that the humanities are a crucial partner to scientific thinking. There is a tendency today to view science and the humanities as separate disciplines with people falling into one camp or the other. But recent world events and contemporary thinkers like physician-anthropologist Paul Farmer and historian John Barry demonstrate that such divisions are misleading. From the time of Leonardo da Vinci, the interrelationship between science and the humanities has elevated both. Berggren will argue that the integration of these disciplines is the surest path to a functional civil society.
