Preaching for the First Sunday of Lent, Ana Gonzalez, OP, offers a reflection on standing our ground in faith: "Just as Jesus and the Israelites were tempted, we will too be tempted, we will be challenged and we, like Jesus, must respond. We must remember that Satan's objective is to create division, destroy our faith, and separate us from the love and will of God. Are we paying attention? Are we willing to put into action the Word that holds our beliefs?"Sister Ana Gonzalez is a Dominican Sister of Peace and a current Graduate Student at the Boston College Clough School of Theology and Ministry. A proud Fronteriza, Sister Ana calls El Paso, Texas, con mucho orgullo, her home. Before pursuing a Master's in Theology and Ministry with a concentration in Latino Pastoral Ministry at Boston College, Sister Ana ministered at Albertus Magnus College, a founded ministry of the Dominican Sisters of Peace.

The Promise of Discovery Season 5, Episode 4 This research explored how combining visual perception with motor practice—specifically drawing unfamiliar symbols—leads to lasting brain changes that support learning. Participants trained by drawing new letter-like symbols over four days while researchers tracked their brain activity using fMRI scans before, immediately after, and one-week post-training. The after-training scans revealed significant differences in activity within several brain regions—including the motor cortex—during the perception of trained compared to untrained symbols that were greater one-week post-training. This suggests that hands-on, visual-motor learning builds long-term changes in how the brain processes visual information, with potential implications for educational strategies and interventions.

For the thirteenth episode of Restoration Roundup we took a look at some of the active research being done in forest restoration. We spoke to three students from UVM's graduate student program: Master's students Kate Longfield and Stever Bartlett and PhD candidate Stephen Peters-Collaer. Working with the Rubenstein School of the Environment and Natural Resources and their mentors and advisors, these students are researching topics that will be coming into the field in the coming years.From Kate's work at the intersection of independent and governmental management of buffers to Stever and Stephen's work on managing and analyzing different types of sites, we had a broad spectrum of topics to cover. How do landowners make choices about land management? How can practitioners most effectively prepare their plantings for success against invasive species and later-stage resource use? For now, we can only see the preliminary results, but these studies and the resources they produce will be valuable tools in riparian restoration.Join our roundtable discussion with upcoming practitioners and get the scoop on research methodology and the rising questions being investigated in academia before being brought to general use in the field.

Salmon Wars Executive Producer and Host Cody McLaughlin is joined by Alaska Native Eva Burke, a passionate force in the world of salmon conservation, serving as an Advisory Board Member at Native Movement, Owner of Rock Crossing Consulting and Graduate Student at University of Alaska Fairbanks. She currently serves as the first Tribal Seat on the Advisory Panel to the NPFMC and work as a consultant to the Yukon River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission… And she's been shut down for 5 years. Zero salmon fishing. Eva sheds light on the devastating impact of zero salmon fishing in the Yukon River, a harsh reality her community has faced for over five years, she discusses the challenges facing salmon populations in Alaska, particularly in the Yukon River. She highlights the importance of salmon to the subsistence lifestyle of indigenous communities and the impact of declining salmon runs on their food security, the mismanagement of salmon resources and the lack of consideration for traditional indigenous knowledge and role of climate change and the changing ocean ecosystem in the decline of salmon populations. The conversation explores the impact of bycatch and mismanagement on salmon populations in Alaska, historical efforts to protect salmon through fishing restrictions and the unintended consequences of opening up certain areas for pollock trawling, the role of hatcheries and the need for sustainable fishing practices.  Main Topics Covered: The Salmon Crisis in Alaska: Eva outlines the current challenges facing king salmon and chum salmon populations, with a focus on the Yukon River. Indigenous communities, whose subsistence lifestyle depends on these fish, have been hit hard. The collapse of salmon runs threatens their food security and way of life. Traditional Indigenous Knowledge: Eva emphasizes the importance of integrating indigenous knowledge into salmon management practices. For centuries, Alaska Natives have practiced sustainable fishing, yet modern mismanagement and over-harvesting have disregarded this expertise. Bycatch and Mismanagement: The conversation dives into the issue of bycatch, where unintended species are caught in large-scale fisheries like the pollock industry.  Climate Change and the Ocean Ecosystem: Eva and Cody explore how climate change is altering the ocean ecosystem, further complicating the already fragile salmon populations. Warmer waters, shifting currents, and unpredictable weather patterns are wreaking havoc on salmon migration and spawning. Fishing Restrictions and Hatcheries: Historical efforts to protect salmon through fishing restrictions have had mixed results, sometimes leading to unintended consequences. The role of hatcheries in salmon production is also debated, with concerns about their impact on wild populations.  Cultural and Economic Impact: The decline of salmon is not just an environmental issue; it's a cultural and economic one too. Alaska Natives are not only losing a vital food source but also a deep connection to their heritage.  Call to Action: Stand Up for Alaska's Salmon: Eva's message is clear: it's time to get involved. Whether it's attending meetings, writing letters, or advocating for better policies, everyone has a role to play in protecting Alaska's salmon. Together, we can ensure the health of this vital species and the communities that depend on it.

On this episode we dive deep into the truths of global politics and power structures. From the complicity of the U.S. in the genocide of Palestinians to the deep-rooted connections between white supremacy and art, this episode is a powerful reflection on history and current events. Join Sergei and our guest, art historian Katherine Ruckle, as we explore how centuries of colonialism, racism, and war continue to shape our world. Katherine (she/her/hers) is a first generation college student who received her B.F.A in Art History in 2017 and her M.A. in Art History in 2019. Her in-progress dissertation on Salvator Rosa seeks to shed light on the novel ways in which the 17th century painter asserted his Neapolitan identity to create professional opportunities and inventive subject matter. This work considers the political circumstances of 17th century Italy in which Naples was colonized by the Spanish, raising crucial questions about how regionalism may have played a role in Rosa's fortunes as he navigated court and academic culture in Florence. Her paper "St. Wilgefortis: Considering Modern and Medieval Hirsute Audiences" received first prize for an Outstanding Paper by a Graduate Student at the Robyn Rafferty Student Research Conference and was distinguished with the Honorable Mention for the Garrard-Broude Prize for Feminist Art History. She has also been named an Edward Giuliano Global Fellow, supporting her research in Naples for her current project. In addition to writing, she is passionate about Art Education and has interned with Manifest Gallery, an educational outreach and gallery in Cincinnati, Ohio; with the Education Department for the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C.; and for the Education Department at the Walters Museum in Baltimore, MD.

In this conversation, we discuss the challenges, pride, and support for first-generation graduate students. Guests share their experiences, tips for others, recommendations and suggestions for faculty and staff working to support these students, and ways involvement and engagement with ACPA can help get that support and look to address systemic issues in higher education and society.

Join Kosta and his guest: Emily Armstrong, Graduate Student at TN Tech and photographer.A note for everyone listening to this episode, we'll be exclusively talking about Emily's trip to the 2024 Paris Olympics where she photographed the games' archery competitions. She is an incredibly talented photographer and creator, so we hope you'll look at her other work, but for now, we are going full gas, no breaks on her Olympic debut.

Graduate Student Teachers, with Lauren Rudewicz by Peeking behind what scaffolds writing classrooms at the University of Michigan

Civil engineering grad students from NHERI UC Davis join Dan Zehner to discuss research at the renowned Center for Geotechnical Modeling, a geotech lab equipped with a nine-meter centrifuge. Master's student Jose Louis Caisapanta describes soil experiments with the centrifuge – which can deploy a shake table during its 50G spins. PhD student Laura Luna explains building physical models in the centrifuge. She uses resulting data to create a computer model that will predict soil behavior beneath a structure during an earthquake. About the equipment and people at the NHERI UC Davis laboratory:https://ucdavis.designsafe-ci.org/ Discover research, events, lab photos and more on the CGM Facebook page:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063111107077 Follow NHERI UC Davis on Linked In:https://www.linkedin.com/company/ucd-cgm/ CGM Director Jason DeJong on DesignSafe Radio:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlLTdPaOUFk

Each summer, the College of Professional Studies at Syracuse University hosts the Fulbright pre-academic program⁠, which prepares international Fulbright students to embark on their graduate degrees and research opportunities. This year, 44 students from 20 countries around the world will spend four weeks on campus discovering American culture, learning about life as a graduate student in the U.S. and developing the necessary research skills. El-Baz Abdallah and Budoor Alsaadi discuss their beneficial experiences as International Fulbright students participating in the program, how they assimilated to life as students in the United States and how they plan on using their research to make a difference.

The Budget Nerds have covered the spending habits of a lot of married folks with families, but what about the single people out there? In today's episode, Ben and Ernie speak with Jasmin Green, a PhD student in the Department of Plant Sciences at UC Davis. Jasmin is an avid YNAB'er, who credits the methodology with keeping her bank account in order during the financially challenging years of graduate school. As a PhD student, Jasmin's income is highly variable, with several streams of income from stipends, grants, and emplyoment as a TA -- each with their own tax implications. Despite the lumpy income, Jasmin has successfully used YNAB to navigate the costs of living in graduate school while remaining relatively stress-free, at least when it comes to money!   Jasmin breaks down the categories in her spending plan in full detail, and how they each fit into the big picture of her financial life.   Share your YNAB wins with Ben and Ernie! budgetnerds@ynab.com   Follow Budget Nerds on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuIUGmbCDklkDCDm-cQqv2g

Artificial Intelligence is radically changing how we work, learn, play and socialize, from virtual assistants helping organize our day to bots that can score Taylor Swift tickets or write college-level essays. But that vast computing capability may also come at a cost, generating results that are rife with bias if the data that was used to train AI systems is itself biased against or excludes certain groups of people. To counter this issue, we hear about the efforts of two engineering and computer science doctoral students in the Pacific Northwest.  At the University of Washington, Kate Glazko led a team of researchers on a study that found that the popular AI application ChatGPT routinely ranked job seekers lower if their CVs mentioned an award or recognition that implied they had a disability such as autism or blindness. At Oregon State University, Eric Slyman developed computing instructions that can be used to train AI to be less biased against marginalized groups when generating image search results. Slyman and Glazko join us for more details. 

Welcome to episode 152 of Activist #MMT. Today's part two of my conversation with five of my Torrens classmates, this time about the job guarantee, from a now-much more educated point of view, given our experience at Torrens. We are also joined by John's wife, Martha, who is highly educated on topics related to the job guarantee. (Here's a link to part one.) But for now, let's get right back to our conversation.

In this episode, Emily interviews Dr. Cyrus Liu, a postdoctoral fellow in computer science at Grinnell College. Cyrus came to the US from China as a graduate student without any knowledge of how the US financial system works. Over the course of his PhD, Cyrus found ways to minimize his expenses and increase his income so that he could meet his goal of investing $500 per month into a Roth IRA and a taxable brokerage account. He also invested in his physical and mental health and grew his career and social wealth in a frugal manner. Cyrus ends the interview with incredible insights into why he was motivated to work on his finances during graduate school and in what ways academics are truly wealthy.

An out-of-this-world discovery led by University of Kansas grad student Alex Polanski found 15 new exoplanets and determined the mass of more than 100 others, in what is the largest one-time survey of exoplanets to date. The survey of planets contextualizes how common Earth's solar system is — which turns out, is not as common as once thought.
