CSDE News & Events

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) Challenge Workshop in Istanbul.

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!

As an elected member of the Board, Ann looks forward to championing these efforts to democratize and advance science.

Please join us for a departmental teaching brownbag. We will be talking about how to lead effective class discussions, and we will kick things off with some insights from Callie Burt and Julie Brines. This is a welcoming and relaxed space where we can discuss the joys and challenges of teaching. Come share your tips, techniques, or questions. Feel free to bring your lunch.
