The Government of Turkey has prioritized integrating its more than 3.5 million registered Syrian refugees into Turkish society. How successful have they been in incorporating the refugees into the population? CSDE Trainee Neal Marquez  presented research that addresses this question at the fall CSDE Lightning Talks and Poster Session, and received the award for best poster. He will also present this novel work in the Social Media and Population Processes Session at the PAA annual meeting this April and at the Data 4 Refugees (D4R) Workshop in Istanbul.

Neal and his collaborators, who include CSDE Affiliates Emilio Zagheni and Ott Toomet, utilized cell phone call detail record data from the Data 4 Refugees Challenge as a novel way to estimate segregation in the usage of land space and the ways in which daily activities are segregated.

Congratulations to CSDE Affiliate and CSDE Executive Committee Member, Ann Bostrom (Weyerhaeuser Endowed Professor in Environmental Policy, Evans School of Public Policy and Governance), who was just elected to the Board of Directors of the American Association for the Advancement of Science! The AAAS seeks to advance science, engineering, and innovation throughout the world for the benefit of all people. As an elected member of the Board, Ann looks forward to championing these efforts to democratize and advance science.

The air out there is cold, but we’re sure each of you have a warm heart that is producing exciting population research. We would love to hear about your work at the March 15 Lightning Talks and Poster Session! Please consider submitting a brief abstract for consideration. In the session, you can:

• Get awesome feedback from an interdisciplinary set of scholars
• Make new connections with researchers working in similar areas
• Practice your presentation skills, perhaps to help you prepare for PAA or another upcoming conference
• Use it for a class that requires a poster presentation

If any (or all) of these appeal to you, you may apply by completing a short form through the this link by Friday, February 1, 2019. CSDE will recognize the best poster with an award and prize.
